IRONS STEPS IN AND EARNS 2023 COACH OF THE YEAR

CANFIELD, OHIO – Any basketball aficionado will tell you that talent will take you far, but a great head coach will finish the deal off. The ability to lead a group of players, getting the full potential out of each individual, and also showing the guys how to be men is everything you want out of your head man. After South Range started the season 0-5, Todd Irons took over the reins and led the team through their adverse start. Under the direction of Irons, the Raiders went 15-5 the rest of the way where their season ended to Lutheran East in the Division III District Final.

Although the Raiders had hopes of going further in the tournament, the team has much to be proud of considering the run they went on to turn things around after the rocky start. We at YSN would like to take this opportunity to congratulate coach Irons as we have selected him as our 2023 Coach of the Year recipient.
