Can't help but take some credit for this as Kirtland has had a huge impact on Ironton after housing them last year. Looks like Ironton's coach paid heed to the articles I've posted about the Hornet program. Maybe in a few years Ironton will be on more of a level with the Hornets. Keep up the hard work Tigers and we'll see if you can catch up.
I don't know if I would say that.
Think about it Pendleton is starting his 4th year at Ironton.
At one time Ironton was a perennial playoff participant and a threat to make a run to the state tittle.
Before Pendleton Ironton had hit bottom kids not dedicated and lack of discipline on the team.
Pendleton wasn't even Ironton's first or second choice to be Head Coach but he became the best choice for Head coach.
He came in and installed a plan of dedication and a want to win inside of these young men.
Kirtland is a great team no doubt but what Pendleton has done in the few years he has been there is nothing less than phenomenal.
But saying Kirtland has a hand in this well I think is a little strong Ironton is used to winning because of Lutz and following Lutz is a tall task indeed but Coach Pendleton has done a great job in doing so.
I think the 2nd loss to Kirtland inspired them to dedicate themselves in off seaaon even more so. It's not an entirely inaccurate statement. At same time, a loss like that to anybody in a title game should do that or ya in the wrong business. Ironton is used to scratchin and crawling to beat the odds when they travel north. The idea isn't new. However its different this time. Ironton isnt going against a deeper talent pool per se because Kirtland is also a small school. This time Ironton had to dedicate themselves to matching and hopefully exceeding Kirtlands work ethic.
