Here's your local news at a glance for Sunday, the 26th of October.
Good morning, Wilmington.
🌲 Environment
DNREC will host two public listening sessions this month as it revises the 2025 Wildlife Action Plan—efforts that will guide wildlife conservation and support state funding.
The first session will be held in person on Oct. 28 at 1 p.m. in Dover and the second will be held online on Oct. 29 at 6 p.m.
A map from SmokyMountains.com showed that Delaware’s leaves reached near peak during the week of Oct.
20 and will peak beginning Oct. 27—creating a short window for visitors to see vibrant colors—especially at parks like Lums Pond State Park, Trap Pond State Park, and Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge.
🏈 Sports
Delaware high school football teams made key wins in Week 9 that shaped playoff paths—Middletown beat Salesianum 16 to 6, Caesar Rodney beat Sussex Central 45 to 35, and Conrad beat Newark 7 to 0.
Next week, top district matchups in 3A, 2A and 1A will decide playoff seeding and intensify the race to the postseason.
