Best of Luck to the Miss Portsmouth/ Scioto Valley and Outstanding Teen Programs!

Tomorrow night in Portsmouth four, that’s right FOUR women will be crowned: Miss Portsmouth, Miss Scioto Valley, Miss Portsmouth’s Outstanding Teen and Miss Scioto Valley’s Outstanding Teen!


The pageant will take place at 7:30 p.m. at the Vern Riffe Center for the Arts on the campus of Shawnee State University. [The photo on the left is from Christie's Facebook, I assume it's from their Miss Ohio send-off. L-R: Christie, Karissa, E.D. Greg Davis and Ashley.]

The outgoing Miss Scioto Valley is Karissa Martin, who was Second Runner-up to Miss Ohio; she has already won a new title, Miss Clayland. Miss Portsmouth, Christie Youssef was a Top 10 Semifinalist, but I believe she has “aged-out.” Ashley Miller, Miss Portsmouth’s Outstanding Teen went on to become Miss Ohio’s Outstanding Teen and represented the Buckeye state at the national pageant! (This is the first year for Miss Scioto Valley’s Teen.)

Reigning Miss Ohio and former Miss Scioto Valley Roberta Camp will be in attendance, and I believe, a part of the show.

The following women will be competing for the Miss titles:

1. Melissa Nicole Stevens
2. Ashley Hartman
3. Adriane Eastman
4. Katie Camp
5. Ceci Purtee
6. Megan Wombacker
7. Amber Bussa
8. Carrie Lewis
9. Emily Cousino

Teen Contestants

1. Amber Miller
2. Hannah Pack
3. Megan Willis
4. Emilee Lowe
5. Kara Beth Wagner
6. Shelby Willis

I'll be judging a Forensics tournament all day in Akron tomorrow, then have a Halloween party when I return, but will try to post the results quickly in between. Best of luck to everyone!
