📰 News we're reading
• Looking back at Princeton winter sports (princetonherald.com) — Princeton High School athletes capped their second year in Class 6A with standout seasons in basketball, powerlifting, and wrestling, including a state wrestling medal and a boys powerlifting state title. Local fans can see how both Panthers and Lady Panthers fared in district play, who earned all-district honors, and which seniors and new coaches will shape next year’s teams. 
• Residents bring concerns before city (princetonherald.com) — A packed town hall at Princeton City Council chamber saw residents voice strong opinions about AI data centers and a proposed new mosque site, even though neither project is actually planned within the city. Mayor Eugene Escobar Jr. and other officials clarified jurisdiction limits and legal protections while Councilmember Terrance Johnson said future meetings will be refined to better focus on concrete city business.
• The Texas Towns Where Change Is Happening Faster Than People Expected (myfamilytravels.com) — Princeton is highlighted as one of Texas’s fastest-changing towns, with population more than doubling since 2020 as families seek affordable homes, parks, and good schools east of Dallas. The piece contrasts Princeton’s long-time small-town feel with the surge of new neighborhoods and development, showing how the city is balancing growth with its original character.
