The Paint Ballers, made up of Trevor Howlett, Zach Coy, and Jacob Clark, placed ninth in the competition.

If dancing front and center makes someone a star to behold, that was certainly the case Wednesday afternoon in the lobby at Morgantown Care and Rehab. Listed on the activity calendar as “Line dancing with Ashley,” residents Aline Carroll, Linda Gray and Billy Wood joined in and were assisted by Ashley Flint and Leah Burden who served as instructors of some of the latest moves. It’s too bad the scorecard stops at 10.
