Good morning, Gallia County. With temperatures plunging and snowflakes swirling, Mother Nature is giving our River Cities region an unexpected snow day. While students might be celebrating their pajama-clad victory across Gallipolis, Meigs, and Mason County, our local athletes are heating up the courts despite the winter chill.
Speaking of heating things up, Mason County's next generation of mathematical minds just turned up the competitive thermostat at the Math Field Day showdown. While Point Pleasant's Lady Knights may have fallen just short in their nail-biting 51-49 battle with Rock Hill, our young mathematicians were busy calculating their way to victory, with Katie McCutcheon and Fiona Van Matre leading the charge toward the upcoming regionals at Marshall University.
