Good morning, Scioto County. As Holy Week unfolds, a powerful display of unity is taking shape in Ironton, where seven local churches are collaborating for a special Good Friday service. Ministers from across denominations will come together at First Methodist Church to deliver a collective meditation on the seven last words of Jesus—a remarkable example of community spirit transcending individual congregations during this sacred season.
That same community-minded approach continues at The Cinema at Camp Landing, where moviegoers can trade canned food donations for free tickets to a complete "Hunger Games" film festival. Starting April 13 with "The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes," this creative initiative benefits local food pantries while giving fans a chance to earn a collectible lanyard. Meanwhile, the Boyd County Clerk's office is cheering on another beloved tradition—Little League baseball—with heartfelt well-wishes for players stepping onto diamonds across the region.

⚾ Baseball Scoreboard
The Wheelersburg Pirates turned the baseball diamond into a crime scene Saturday, absolutely dismantling Central Crossing 21-5 in a non-league slugfest. The Pirates (now 6-2) flexed their offensive muscles in what can only be described as batting practice with live pitching, while the hapless Comets fell to a dismal 1-8 record that has their season circling the drain faster than a curveball in a hurricane.
