Years ago there was rumor or speculation that St Joe and Holy Family would form a team and that Coach Lutz would coach there the first few years. Now, whether that was just rumors or really being researched I cannot say.
River Rat Ray probably knows as he's alumni and played football there. It cost far less back then as they still had leather helmets. If you talk to him and he gets confused? Well, those leather helmets were not very effective. So, be patient with the old fellar
Time for Saint Joe to bring back football?

Re: Time for Saint Joe to bring back football?
I was also told something like that but it also involved Huntington St Joe. My family doctor told me that the plan was to build a high school in South Point and call it Blessed Trinty. It was supposedly killed by the Diocese of Wheeling. Yes he also said that they would build their own football facility and they would get Bob Lutz to coach it. I ask him about finances and the way he talked it was available.Mr Shifty wrote: Wed Sep 06, 2023 11:04 am Years ago there was rumor or speculation that St Joe and Holy Family would form a team and that Coach Lutz would coach there the first few years.

I'll have you know we had those new fangled hard plastic helmets but no protective bar on the front. The confusion I have is due to being 84 years old. LOL
When I was at St Joe I believe it was my Junior year. We had 28 boys in high school and 26 played football. There were only 3 Senior boys that year and only 2 played. Gene Rambacher was head coach and Roy Riley and Bob Haas were his assistants.

Re: Time for Saint Joe to bring back football?
I was thinking earlier that South Point would’ve been a fantastic location for a school to service Lawrence County and OH/KY/WV tri-state area. It’s a shame that it never happened.RiverRatRay wrote: Wed Sep 06, 2023 1:25 pmI was also told something like that but it also involved Huntington St Joe.

They don’t need SP. Ironton High School serves all those areas now.formerfcfan wrote: Wed Sep 06, 2023 1:48 pmI was thinking earlier that South Point would’ve been a fantastic location for a school to service Lawrence County and OH/KY/WV tri-state area.
