📰 News we're reading

• Vermont football teams face fallout from Poultney canceling 2026 season (burlingtonfreepress.com) — Poultney High School has canceled its 2026 football season because too few students signed up, leaving just one Poultney player suiting up through a member-to-member agreement with Fair Haven. The move reshuffles Division III schedules statewide and disappoints coaches who see Poultney as a longtime “blue blood” football town, though school leaders hope to rebuild youth programs and revive the team in 2027.
