If memory serves we continued to play only South Point from the county schools. I will ask at the next Ironton game. How many times have St. Joe and Ironton squared off? I remember taking in the two when Joe Dressel was at St. Joe.
Ironton is leaving the SEOAL.....Ironton and St. Joe have played many times "in the past". My question, which no one seems to want to answer, is why Rock Hill has grown as a school, which obviously should give you a deeper talent pool, but yet they have not grown in athletics? It's just a question. I mean Ironton has shrunk in size and their talent has decreased along with it over the years. And before you get on me, I actually graduated from Ironton and played several sports there, so I'm not saying that out of jealousy. I was just wondering anyone's thoughts on the connection between school size and athletic success. Is it the scheduling, the coaching, what?
