[Tricky]

Actually, Alvin Ratliff was the one who turned things around for JC girls basketball. He won the regional title before Wireman.

Johnson Central girls basketball began in 1975. There was nobody in this region that could even come close to beating Sheldon Clark for many many years. They were the premeir girls team in the 15th region for most of the latter 70's and 80's and were still strong throughout a lot of the 90's.

Good information on this subject.

So Wireman actually didn't start it from scratch? He merely had to maintain an already established program?

He never had to endure what Miller and West did in Magoffin. Find coaches to coach it in elementary school, middle school and wait on the development of these players to finally make it into the high school.
