Good morning, Ross County. A mountain of medical scrubs is making its way to local healthcare workers thanks to the Assistance House's recent community drive. Board president Margaret Hill-Daniels spearheaded the initiative that filled six to seven large bins with essential workwear, while local businesses from Sparkle Cleaners to Olive Garden pitched in with services and raffle items. The 100-year-old charitable organization continues its century-long tradition of supporting Ross County's working families through these collaborative efforts.
In sports news, hometown talent Brandon Noel is coming full circle as the Chillicothe High graduate transfers to Ohio State basketball after a stellar Wright State career that included three All-Horizon League honors. Meanwhile, baseball fans watched the McClain Tigers build an early 3-0 lead before the Cavaliers mounted a comeback capped by a decisive sixth inning. For a blast from the past, 1969 saw Chillicothe in the television spotlight when "Dialing for Dollars" brought its cameras to town for a special broadcast.

👩⚕️ Ross County scrub drive collects mountains of medical attire. The Assistance House of Ross County recently completed a successful community initiative to provide affordable scrubs for healthcare workers. Launched by board president Margaret Hill-Daniels, the drive gathered six to seven large bins of scrubs with support from local businesses and volunteers. The Chillicothe Ross Community Foundation provided seed money while businesses like Sparkle Cleaners, Old Canal Smokehouse, Olive Garden, and Picture This contributed services and raffle items. The 100-year-old charitable organization continues its mission to serve working families in Ross County through community donations and volunteer efforts.
⚾ Tigers' early lead crushed by Cavaliers' explosive sixth inning. McClain held a promising 3-0 advantage through the third inning before Chillicothe mounted a comeback. The Cavaliers scored two runs in the fourth, one in the fifth, and then delivered the knockout blow with four runs in the sixth. Cohen Six led the Tigers offensively, going 2-for-4 with a double, run scored, and RBI. The loss drops McClain to a 2-5 record this season.
