💊 Prescription for Success

Scioto County • January 21, 2025

Good morning, Scioto County. In an era where educational opportunities can feel as scarce as winning lottery tickets, a game-changing partnership between Kentucky Christian University and Marshall University just dealt students a winning hand. Their new pharmacy program collaboration, complete with a $2,000 tuition discount, is transforming career dreams into prescriptions for success.

Meanwhile, the echoes of vintage engines are already revving up in Ashland, where the prestigious Great Race will roll into town in 2025. While classic cars prepare to steal the spotlight, Spring Valley's basketball team is writing their own historic chapter, remaining perfect at 9-0 after a commanding victory over Ironton. Harrison Riggs' 26-point performance proved that whether it's on the hardwood or the highway, our region knows how to put on a show.
