Future sites for the 10th region Tournament

I sure if you are from Mason Co. you will get no argument. Don't tell me that mason doesn't have a home court advantage at their home court.

Next year's venue is voted on by this year's participants.

Every year Clark/Montgomery make a motion to hold it in Winchester/Mt.Sterling and every year it is defeated 6-2.

Let me state again, a little louder and a litter clearer and in language you might understand - "IT AIN'T COMIN' TO NKU."

When Montgomery completes their new facility, I would expect that as a courtesy it may be held there for one year, after which the attendence and revenue figures will be compared and it will come home to the Fieldhouse.

Mustang is right on,I think Tex you are thinking of the District tourny its rotated each year.The Region is voted on by the coachs thats why ive said all long it wont move cause the majority are very happy where its at and thats what it takes is the majority of vote.Im more than willing to give Montgomery a shot at it though once.

Then go back to Maysville.

10th region tournament should be at the fieldhouse.

Our best venue in the 14th region is no doubt Knott County Central's Morton Complex (5000 seats), but there is no way that the rest of the region will ever give KCC the advantage of hosting the tournament every year. The way it is right now, each of the 4 districts gets their chance to host the tournament in a 6 venue rotation. That way all fans throughout the region is given a fair shake. I mean, the distance between Stanton and Hindman is about 80 miles. Well, that road runs two ways, for both fans and players. Why should the 56th district players and fans have to load up and travel nearly two hours every year, while schools in Knott, Perry, and Letcher basicly have the tournament in their back door? What's fair about that?

Same thing for the people of Clark County when comparing the Mason County venue.

What about when one gym holds possibly 5,000 more people than any other gym in the region? Think the ADs, principals, and supers want to turn all that gate money down? I think not.

I agree with you and some of the others the 10th Region Tournament should be at the Fieldhouse, why would anyone change it, the Fieldhouse is the only facility to hold a event of this magnitude, with all that come to watch the games there. There's a lot of history made there, and it's a great basketball tradition, great atmosphere as well.

As myself and others have stated on several occasions, when Mason County when the regional tournament they were the best team. Let's not change something because a few people think it is unfair. Not to sound cruel but if the tournament were to move to Mount Sterling, I doubt very seriously that I would ever attend.

Its probably because this isn't the same 10th region anymore. The 10th has a fair share of NKY schools in it now, and they shouldn't have to make that drive every year.

From the KHSAA handbook on regional tournament sites.

The Commissioner shall determine the regional tournament
sites. Schools interested in hosting a regional tournament
must submit their request through the defined site selection
process at prior year tournaments. The Commissioner’s
office may use this site selection plan as a guide, but is not
bound by this plan in determining the sites.

Personally I think that Montgomery should be given a shot at holding the tournament and see how things go from there.

Everyone says that Mason County has a HUGE home court advantage. The Fieldhouse opened in 1966 and it took the Royals 15 years to use that home court advantage.

The tournament has been held there every year since it opened except one, when it was held in Winchester.

Here is the breakdown of winners since the Fieldhouse opened.

Mason County 10
Harrison County 7
Clark County 6
Maysville 4
Pendleton County 2
Bath County 2
Fleming County 2
Bourbon County 2
Montgomery County 1
Paris 1
Campbell County 1
Bishop Brossart 1

That would be 3 for the pendleton County Wildcats

1965

When the NKU gym is built I think it would be interesting to have a 9th Region/10 Region challenge their during the regular season similar to the ACC/Big 10 Challenge.

Exactly!!! Why this isn't already in place I will never know. I just think that it would be interesting and profittable. A full day of 9th/10th region basketball.

Correct me if I am wrong but I think the first regional tournament was held there in 1965.

Yea, Mason has not enjoyed a home court advantage.

The years they won the region they were most of the time undoubtingly the best team in the region. Especially during their 2 three peats in the early 90's and 2000's as well as the 1981 state finalist team.
