If South Point wanted to avenge their loss from the last time they played Ironton, they should've done a better job of containing Ashton Layne. The Ironton Fighting Tigers strolled past the South Point Pointers with points to spare on Friday, taking the game 63-49 thanks in part to Layne, who went 7 for 12 on his way to 17 points along with four steals and four blocks. That's the most steals he has posted since back in February of 2024.
Ironton is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five matches, which provided a nice bump to their 9-5 record this season. The wins came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 70.6 points per game. As for South Point, their loss was their third straight on the road, which dropped their record down to 7-10.
Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Ironton will venture away from home to challenge Wayne at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday. Wayne knows how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with 55 points or more in their past nine games -- so hopefully Ironton likes a good challenge. South Point has already played their next contest (against Gallia Academy), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing.
