Good morning, Meigs County. Ohio State softball made a pit stop in Rock Springs this week, and for a moment, the whole county went Scarlet and Gray — not a bad look, honestly. Pair that with a homegrown football talent catching some well-deserved attention, and it's shaping up to be a genuinely good week for Meigs County sports pride.
The national headlines are keeping things interesting too: oil prices jumped 6% as Middle East tensions rattled crude shipments, the Justice Department turned up the heat on election officials across all 50 states, and the U.S. Postal Service is eyeing another Forever stamp price hike — because apparently 41% wasn't enough. Fresh local real estate listings are also waiting inside whenever you're ready to scroll.
