Ironton Basketball 08/09

Pleasanttiger,Ironton has another move in from Huntington from what I hear that is a 10th grader that will be their point guard. Lafon is also also recruiting former coaches back that quit from what I hear also.Where would they be without move ins and recruits.Heaven for bid they may have to actually coach to win.

Do you know for sure he is at Ironton or are you guessing, if so who is it????

must be why the 3 Portsmouth boys stayed on Portsmouth, Our Big Lots, is still open and had jobs

although,I did hear them Ice Balls, still almost won over,it was pretty close

OHBUCKEYE1,He is there.What his name is I'm not sure,but he is taking classes Thats what a reliable source told me.Bless there hearts they pulled in the last piece of there puzzle.Isn't it amazing how players just happen to come in and fil a spot that is needed and without being recruited.How lucky can you be.They got the big man they needed and a point guard WOW

I was wondering if it is the same guy who transferred from Ironton to Huntington as a Froshmen last year, I believe he started as Huntingtons point guard last year.

The sophmore that everyone is speculating about is Malcolm Morton and he is at Ironton. He plays AAU with another Ironton kid and that is the reason he is here. Becasue of AAU this happens at many schools and whether it is right or wrong is a matter of opinion, but that is how it happens. Ironton benefits some years and loses in others.
As far as whether Coach Lafon was recruiting other coaches that may have been under contract... I am not sure why it matters if Coach Lafon was trying to "recruit" another coach, whether they were under contract or not. That is not something that the OHSAA forbids, so I'm not sure why you even think it is an issue. Sounds to me like it would be beneficial to the Ironton kids if he wanted another experienced coach on his staff. It must be a personal issue with Lafon that I am sure you could discuss with him!

GO TIGERS!!!

^^^^^^Thanks for the info.

I could see Tommy Waginger (sophomore) getting some playing time on the varsity team. He is an excellent 3 point shooter and can contribute in other areas as well.

I agree, he's an outstanding player and a great shooter.

There's alot of good players from that Froshmen class last year.

I thought Michael graduated this past May. Could you be referring to his younger brother, Malcolm?

Right, Malcolm Morton was a freshman at Huntington last year who saw limited varsity minutes. His brother Michael was a senior at Huntington last year.

[gotigers]

Malcolm, Michael.... Peas, Carrots. Some people are just too picky . I fixed it.

Looking forward to seeing him play.

I've heard alot of good things about Malcom Morton, heard He is talented enough to be competing for the starting position at Point Guard, good ball handler with the ability to dribble penetrate, very quick.

GO TIGERS.............

sounds like ironton is turning into another north college hill. any of these recruits getting gifts like oj did.

If it makes you feel any better we did lose a player with significant playing time to South Point.

The transfer from hunington is a very good ball player from what i have heard. He will most likely run the point this year.
