• 6 reasons why Northampton girls soccer defeated South Hadley (masslive.com) — Northampton's undefeated girls soccer team will visit Brattleboro Union High School on Friday at 6 p.m., giving local fans a chance to see a top Massachusetts squad in action. Coming off a tight 1-0 win over South Hadley, Northampton brings a stingy defense and strong goalkeeping that should make for a competitive home matchup for Brattleboro supporters.
• Westminster Barracks / Fatal Crash Update (blogspot.com) — A serious three‑vehicle crash on Vermont Route 9 in Marlboro has turned fatal, with one driver dying from injuries after being airlifted to Dartmouth Hitchcock. Another driver with minor injuries was treated at Brattleboro Memorial Hospital, and state police are asking anyone who witnessed the collision near Staver Road to contact the Westminster Barracks as the investigation continues.
