Good morning, Scioto County. In the Hollywood script of high school basketball, there's nothing quite like the underdog victory story. After 17 straight losses that tested their resolve, the Jackson Ironladies finally had their movie moment Wednesday night, dominating South Webster in a 53-35 triumph that had everyone in the gym feeling like they were watching "Hoosiers" come to life.
The feel-good vibes are spreading beyond the hardwood, as UK specialist Dr. Navin Rajagopalan brings new hope to heart patients at King's Daughters Heart Failure Clinic. While the Ironton Tigers were busy outmaneuvering South Point with their own brand of cardiac-testing basketball action, Dr. Rajagopalan's team is proving that with the right game plan, even failing hearts can make an impressive comeback.
