• Histoplasmosis cases rise in Spring Hill (mainstreetmediatn.com) — State health officials are tracking a spike in histoplasmosis cases in Spring Hill and Thompsons Station, urging doctors to watch for unexplained fevers and respiratory illness in Middle Tennessee patients. The story follows Spring Hill-area resident Liam O’Neal’s severe, months-long battle with histoplasmosis and blastomycosis, illustrating how dangerous these fungal infections can be for immunocompromised people and why quick diagnosis matters. 
• Proposed Whataburger delayed further (mainstreetmediatn.com) — A long-discussed Whataburger planned for Spring Hill has been denied again, after the city’s Planning Commission cited Unified Development Code violations and unresolved right-of-way issues tied to TDOT’s U.S. 31 project. Mayor Matt Fitterer opposed approval, and the project failed 5–1 before a unanimous vote to deny the resolution, while another project, Legacy Pointe, received site plan approval.
• We re-ranked all 137 TSSAA football teams in Nashville area after 2025 season (tennessean.com subscription) — Spring Hill High School’s football team is ranked 79th among 137 Nashville-area programs in The Tennessean’s post-season re-ranking of TSSAA teams.
