• High school football: 2025 All-Bay Area News Group team (fresnobee.com) — Los Gatos High football is all over this year’s All-Bay Area News Group team, with Wildcats earning first-team, second-team and honorable-mention spots on offense, defense and special teams. The massive list recognizes standout players from across Santa Clara, San Mateo, Alameda and Contra Costa counties after an action-packed 2025 season. 
• Will anything keep this cat from wallowing where it's not wanted? (marinij.com) — A Los Gatos resident writes in about a neighborhood cat flattening their iris plants, prompting practical advice on humane deterrents like scents, textures, and sprinklers to redirect the feline. The broader Bay Area column also touches on changing bird patterns and dog behavior tips, but the most locally relevant piece is the garden-friendly strategy for that persistent Los Gatos visitor.
