Ironton Tigers Yearly Basketball Records

[osnn]

Does anyone have a list of yearly basketball records for the Ironton Tigers ?
I've checked with the high school and the Ironton Tribune and they don't have them.

Also, a list of coaches...
Mark Lafon
Roger Zornes
Buddy Bell
Phil Rice


Good luck to ironton tonight against Peebles !

[Malcontent]

Paul Webster did in fact coach Ironton in 1956-57 and had one of the best shooters in the state in a guard named Ralph Snead. I think they were defeated in the finals of the regional tournament that year by Chillicothe. May be wrong about the team but not the rest.

[osnn]

Thanks to Gray Fighting Tiger and Malcontent for the info.

It looks like maybe Ironton was district champs in 1957 and 1959.

Chillicothe didn't go to the state tournament in the 1950's so it had to be another team that defeated Ironton in the regional final. I've heard Ralph Snead was a great player.

[jottings]

If I'm not mistaken, didn't "Goose" James of Marshall fame coach the Tigers in 1954 or 1955?

Congrats to Coach LaFon and the Ironton Tigers on another great season!
