The top local stories this morning from the KERA Newsroom: Like many other teams across the state, the Alto High School football team is preparing for its second playoff game tonight. However, this team is doing so without one of its players.

Other stories this morning:

  • Texas has a road safety problem. In the first six months this year, more people died on roads than in any other state. Despite all of the stats on distracted driving, we’ll hear how some tech can actually keep drivers safe in our Friday Conversation.

You can listen to North Texas stories weekdays at 8:20 a.m and 6:20 p.m. on KERA 90.1 FM.
