Pearl River Week in Review: Fall Sports Practicing, Route 9W Safety

Pearl River fall sports kicked off for 2012 with the opening day of football practice Friday, with the rest of the teams getting to work today.

That was just one of the stories we brought you on Pearl River Patch over the past week.
