Not sure of length of time but these coaches have had a lot of success at their schools and have to be close to ten years or above
Speed at Fairland
Arey at Peebles

job 2:10: You're probably right about both, but I initially posted a list of coaches off the top of my head that I knew for sure had coached at the same school for 10 years.

I know Speed has won 6 OVC titles in a row, and has a state semifinal appearance in 2017, and a couple of other regional appearances including this past season when the Dragons lost to Worthington Christian. The 2019-2020 season had the Dragons going to the regional final, and they were scheduled to play Harvest Prep, but it was canceled.

Arey has at least 1 regional final appearance which was a loss to Berlin Hiland, and I'm quite sure he has some SHAC titles to go on his resume.

Couple of different directions they could go, but plenty of interest in the position already according to someone who would know. Could cause multiple dominoes to fall depending on who eventually gets it*
Like who?

Fitch has only been there a couple of years, but I was talking to an ole buddy down that way that said anything is possible because they are the joke of Lawrence county.
Yeah I was pretty surprised to hear he was out, I believe he was caught off guard as well because his boy had just enrolled down there and now he's left there and enrolled at Minford is my understanding. Be interesting to see if Fitch lands another HC position this year.
That’s terrible to hear especially for his son too! Just don’t see 2 years being a fair amount of time?

The spineless administration and school boards usually win in the end !

That is very true and don’t forget the athletic directors either! Would really like to hear who is interested because Ironton is not the cream of the crop when it comes to basketball not even in the OVC!

Rumor is the boys have a coach in mind, just not official yet. Not sure about the girls side yet.

I know they had some good individuals on the coaching staff the last few seasons so I wonder if one of them would take the Boys.

Just heard who the Boys have in mind. Definitely would shake up the league a little bit.
