• EG Football: Quick Work of Mt. Pleasant, 57-6 (eastgreenwichnews.com) — East Greenwich High School's football team continued its dominant season by routing Mt. Pleasant 57–6, capping a four-game stretch where the Avengers have outscored opponents 167–13. Coach John George praised the execution but warned that tougher tests lie ahead, including upcoming matchups with Mt. Hope, North Providence, Rogers, and Cranston East that will reveal how strong this East Greenwich squad truly is.
   

• East Greenwich Flock Cameras Off, RI State Police Pause (upriseri.com) — East Greenwich residents should know that three State Police Flock license-plate cameras in town have been switched off after local objections, even as most of Rhode Island's plate-reader network continues operating. The article explains how these cameras track vehicles, the lack of statewide law, and the governor's ongoing review that could change privacy and data-sharing rules affecting drivers here and across Rhode Island.
