• Abby Kelley stands out in new U.S. News high school rankings (theworcesterguardian.org) — Families in Northborough can take heart that their local high schools are counted among Worcester County's stronger performers in the latest U.S. News rankings, even as Worcester's Abby Kelley Foster Charter leads the region. The report highlights Massachusetts' overall strength in national standings and underscores how graduation rates, test performance, and college readiness drive each school's placement. 
• Steelers Part Ways with Rookie Offensive Lineman (steelersnow.com) — Northborough native Greg Crippen, a former Michigan offensive lineman, has been released by the Pittsburgh Steelers in their first round of preseason roster cuts. The 6-foot-4 center, once a four-star recruit and Academic All–Big Ten honoree, could still land on the team's practice squad as Pittsburgh trims down to its 53-man limit.
