Hoptown b-ball fan Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Nightmare scenario for Madisonville and Christian County. Dream scenario for University Heights. Ugh. Feb 28th 6:00 Henderson vs. Lyon County feb 28th 7:30 Madisonville - Christian County March 1st 6:00 University Heights vs. Hopkins Central March 1st 7:30 Crittenden County - Union County Semi-finals March 3rd at 2:00 and 8:00 (how dumb... They are clearing the gym because it doesn't have enough capacity) Finals March 5th 7:00 All at Henderson County. Come on Region two coaches and ad's. Come together and agree that Madisonville and Hopkinsville need to be the two gyms who host. Or move to an out of region neutral site college gym Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweet16 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 And to top it off the girls regionals finals are at 5:00 on Saturday as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoptown b-ball fan Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 And to top it off the girls regionals finals are at 5:00 on Saturday as well. Yeah. that's why they moved the second game back so much. Just so dumb. The two or three ad's who are pushing so hard to move the region around are really doing a disservice to everybody.

Originally they had the girls’ finals on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. it's ridiculous. The ad's who did this know who they are... And they should be ashamed. So self serving and immature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoptown b-ball fan Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 What is the reasoning? "fairness" and "revenue" The teams all split the gate. But the concessions go to the schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweet16 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Yes, which isn’t a huge deal. But quicker than the previous Monday semis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmitt Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 No way tournament should be at Henderson, largest school in the region with one of the smallest gyms and parking not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmitt Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Same story as usual in the second, the eight goes to State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Region2 Hype Man Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 The region was at Hoptown and Madisonville every year alternating between the two. They didn't have to clear the gyms for those games. Other schools said is wasn't fair, but to be honest I only remember Hoptown winning Region at home in 03, 13, 17 and I don't remember Madisonville winning at home in the last 15-20 years. Those are the only gyms that can hold it because we don't have a college gym in the region. I do like making the trip to other gyms and seeing other schools get a shot, but I don't like the clearing the gym aspect of the semi final games.

Guest fogdog.com Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Murray and Western are already hosting games. Maybe the Sportscenter in Owensboro is available but who wants to drive there. Hopkinsville and Madisonville are the only places that can hold a big crowd without problems. They care nothing about the fans. The KHSAA should take over and make it right for the fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmitt Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Union's gym capacity around 3500, When region held there posed no problems that I am aware of and I saw all games. Plenty of parking, only negative I heard was Morganfield hard to get to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
