Apex kicked off Saturday under mostly sunny skies with just a few clouds, comfortable morning temperatures hovering in the upper 60s, and a pleasant high expected around 77 degrees according to The Weather Network. Listeners, if you’ve been sneezing, blame ragweed. The North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality reports the local pollen count is moderate, led by ragweed, so allergy sufferers should keep those tissues close by. Air quality remains good across Apex, so outdoor plans are all clear and backyard grills are firing up without any health concerns.
Friday night was electric for Apex high school sports. SI.com reports that the Apex Cougars edged Chapel Hill in a tight football game, 17 to 10. Their crosstown rivals at Apex Friendship put on a defensive show, shutting out Holly Springs 31 to nothing. No injuries and a great turnout at the stadium kept the local spirit high. Students and parents are still buzzing about the game-winning drive and hinted at a promising season ahead.
For those worried about housing prices, IndyWeek.com reveals the Apex Town Council’s unanimous vote just this week to launch a town-sponsored Community Land Trust. This new initiative will make it easier for Apex residents to access affordable homes on town-owned land, and a nonprofit board is already being assembled to manage the effort. It’s a big move aimed at helping teachers, first responders, and working families build equity and plant roots here.
Finally, just down the road in Wake Forest, beloved educator Ericka Lucas was honored last night at the football game, drawing support and cheers from both students and faculty, as reported live by ABC11. It was a strong reminder of the central role educators play all across Wake County, with many listeners hearing echoes of her impact.
To sum it up, Apex heads into the weekend with blue skies, manageable pollen, strong wins for the Cougars and Patriots, and forward-thinking solutions for affordable housing.
