Police investigate Pokémon card fraud (appenmedia.com) — Roswell police are pursuing charges after a local trading card shop off Holcomb Bridge Road reported a $1,000 Pokémon card bought with a stolen credit card.

3. Miami Using Current Momentum to Build Strong Favorites in the 2027 Class (star-telegram.com) — Roswell football fans will recognize Blessed Trinity edge rusher David Jacobs, who’s being projected as a top national recruit and a likely cornerstone of Miami’s 2027 signing class. Despite an offer from his in-state Georgia Bulldogs, analysts currently see him leaning toward the Hurricanes, underscoring how much high-level talent is emerging from Roswell’s prep football scene.
   

4. Metro Atlanta among fastest areas to save for a home down payment (wsbradio.com) — Homebuyers in the Atlanta–Sandy Springs–Roswell metro area are now saving for down payments in just under five years, beating the national average of about seven years.
