Gordy has not had much to work with in his time at Rock Hill. I will say PJ Fitch has been one of the top coaches in our area for sometime. His teams always play extremely hard, are solid defensively, and are just well coached. I'm pretty certain I watched a Fitch coached Ironton team in the District Finals against Zane Trace a few years back? I believe they upset Eastern Brown with Coach Beucler to get there? And maybe Oak Hill (Persin) or Burg (Ater) in the Sectionals?OVC wrote: ↑Sat Mar 02, 2024 12:10 pmI will retract my statement on Fitch… Ironton was over .500 during those years. However, I will remain with my sentiment about Barnes being a good coach, and if bowing to the football program means getting the best athletes out to make your program better, let it be.
Im not sure of Fitch's overall coaching accomplishments, but doubt Rock Hill would have any applicants that would exceed what he has done over the years. I dont know much about Barnes other than watching Ironton verse North Adams last night. I was not that impressed but it was one game.
Good luck to Rock Hill in your search.
