$8.00 per DAY - all games included. (http://irontonclassic.com/)
Jason and Kevin were saying "4" games per day, but the schedule on the website still shows "5".
Not sure if some teams have pulled out?
Coach Lafon said on the post-game show tonight that one team is arriving here tomorrow [Sun].
He said they may have an "open" practice game with Ironton on Monday prior to the start of the tournament. Check with the website or WIRO or on here possibly for details - he was asking Jason Philyaw to help "get the word out".
He also said there will be no ADVANCE ticket sales since Ironton is out of school - ALL ticket sales will be at the GATE only.
Could a MOD please STICKY this Topic through next Wed?
Ironton Classic

Re: Ironton Classic
About half on Huntington prep team is from out of the country, most from africa.
Re: Ironton Classic
ALL of the games on both days [12/21- 12/22] of the Classic [not just Ironton's teams] will be broadcast live on WIRO 1230 AM Radio and available online at http://www.iheartradio.com. Enter ZIPcode 45638 at left under "750+", then click on "FOX SPORTS" on the next page to LISTEN LIVE.
Unfortunately, weather predictions are for "wintery mix" precipitation - snow/sleet/rain - tomorrow [Tues] which makes for the very worst case potentially icy and dangerous travel conditions.

Re: Ironton Classic
That's great that they are broadcasting all of the games, I hope they have been practicing pronouncing some of those names... :122245caglewis wrote:ALL of the games on both days [12/21- 12/22] of the Classic [not just Ironton's teams] will be broadcast live on WIRO 1230 AM Radio and available online at http://www.iheartradio.com.

Re: Ironton Classic
It looks like Rick Pitino and Bob Huggins will be in attendance.....
Big talent draws big crowds, and not just fans.
The third annual Ironton Classic always has its share of talent that helps fill the Sports Center. Filling a few of those seats will be some college head coaches and assistants.
Two head coaches who have confirmed attendance for Tuesday are Louisville’s Rick Pitino and West Virginia’s Bob Huggins.
Other schools will be represented as well including Dayton, Pittsburgh, Toledo and Central Florida.
“Any time there is this much talent in one spot, it makes an easy recruiting stop,†said Mark LaFon, Ironton athletic director and head basketball coach.
“Pitino and Huggins both confirmed they are coming and there may be some others as well. I get calls and text messages all the time.â€
It seems only fitting that the sponsor for The Ironton Classic be the Tri-State Building and Construction Trade Council.
The high school basketball showcase is getting a lot of enquiries from other schools and not just to play in the event that has a rapidly rising appeal. Other schools are interested in how the classic works.
“We wanted to build a product that raises money for the athletic department,†said LaFon. “It’s been a great success and now we have other schools calling us and wanting to know how we set this up.â€
The Classic features 10 games over a two-day span. Tickets are $8 per day and allow fans to view all four games but they may leave and return if so desired. Tickets are on sale at the gate.
Last year the event featured the high-profile prep school of Oak Hill Academy. This year has several of the elite prep programs including a 9 p.m. matchup Wednesday between Our Savior New American of New York and Arlington Country Day of Florida.
“We’ve had some big name players here before, but there may be even bigger names and more of them this year on a lot of different teams,†said LaFon.
Arlington will have an open workout at 2 p.m. on Monday. Teams with extensive travel will be working out in the Sports Center beginning at noon on Monday but are not open to the public.
The tournament gets a local flavor at 1 p.m. Tuesday as the St. Joseph Flyers face the Portsmouth Clay Panthers, favored to win the Southern Ohio Conference Division I.
Brooke Point, Va., coached by former St. Joseph basketball coach Joe Kania, faces Youngstown Campbell Memorial in the 3 p.m. game,’
Cincinnati Princeton — one of Ohio’s elite teams — takes on Arlington Country Day at 5 p.m. followed by the host Fighting Tigers and Cincinnati Taft featuring Adolphus Washington, a 6-foot-6, 240-pound junior power forward who is being heavily recuited as a defensive end in football by teams such as Ohio State and Notre Dame.
The Senators were 22-4 last season.
In the 9 p.m. game, Our Savior New American faces Huntington (W.Va.) Prep and its twin towers of 7-foot-4 Sim Bhullar and 6-10 Stefan Jankovic, both from Toronto, Canada.
Huntington also has 6-9 forwards Sonny Odogwu and Ibrahima Djimde from Africa.
Tipping off the action on Wednesday will be the Ironton Lady Fighting Tigers who go against Huntington High and University of Cincinnati recruit Talequia Hamilton at 1 p.m.
The 3 p.m. game features Chesapeake — a state semifinalist last season who returns three starters — and a revamped Columbus Africentric, considered one of the top Division IV teams in the state.
Huntington Prep meets Brooke Point at 5 p.m. with Ironton going against Campbell Memorial at 7 p.m. before the marquee game between Our Savior and Arlington.

Re: Ironton Classic
What am I missing in this repeated discrepancy between 4 games and 5 games per day?The Classic features 10 games over a two-day span. Tickets are $8 per day and allow fans to view all four games but they may leave and return if so desired. Tickets are on sale at the gate.
And I think Jason Philyaw and Kevin Anthonee and Jeff Linn always attempt to learn and say correctly the names of all the participating teams' players. We Ironton Fighting Tigers fans are so fortunate to have this great broadcasting team handling the play-by-play call for us and our generous providing sponsors. Thanks guys for your great job - but please remember to say the TIME!

Re: Ironton Classic
I assume it is still on, Clay plays the first game and they are getting on the bus and heading that direction.
Re: Ironton Classic
No precipitation at all this morning here in Ironton with the temp 30-33.
My dead end circle has snow on it, but I'm sure the long streets in town and the highways are clear. Cincinnati WLWT weather reports light misty drizzle too fine to show on radar with a temperature right at or just below freezing. It didn't look like there was any problem with their streets even at 6 AM and it has warmed up a few degrees since then. If we would get even a peek of sunshine this afternoon it would make a difference on pavements everywhere.
WIRO is on the air and Jason just reported that all the teams scheduled to arrive yesterday and stay the night made it in safely.
