I haven’t heard anything about it or seen any advertisement so I was just wondering if they are having it? I like traveling down to it and watching it.

I agree, weird I haven’t seen any advertising of the classic. I have seen an ironton schedule which lists Dec 21 & 22 as Ironton classic. Playing Chillicothe and Ashland,ky. But I can’t confirm that and know nothing of any other possible matchups.

Also appears Ironton St.joe may play Coal Grove.

I guess no one is talking basketball in I-town this year? I asked several days ago about the Ironton Basketball Classic and it seems no one knows if they are having it this year. Can anyone find out for me sure would appreciate it!

Thanks TSYS, looks like a really nice lineup.

The website for the Ironton Classic has not been updated in over a year.

Nest step - check facebook ....... no updates in over a year.

I've attended many Classics and I bet this year has the lowest crowd.

Even from Mr Philyaw's tweet, I can't see the game times.

Surely the Ironton v Ashland will be a big crowd
