7-7 would be 50%. 14-7 is very good.

That is impressive.

Yeah thats impressive.

Rotate regional tournaments every year like every other region in the state unless they are in neutral sites. Period. Should be no argument. That is the only fair way to do it. Kids play the game and fairness to them should be the #1 priority. Regardless of all the other arguments about the quality of the location,seating,blah blah and blah. Homecourt advantage is worth something and always will be.

The debate is entirely unnecessary. The fairest way for all schools is a rotation. As a former player and a current coach - I will be the first one to tell you that there is an advantage to playing at home - PERIOD. It could very well push a team over the top. The debate is not whether Montgomery is large enough it is whether a rotation should occur. If a rotation were to occur, then Montgomery would be in it - PERIOD.

How is going to Montgomery County fair to anyone other than Montgomery County??????????

The 10th is too big to have anywhere other than MAson or perhaps Montgomery. Again, how is that fair to any other teams in the tenth other than MC and MC????????

Here's my argument on this topic, Mason county wins the 10th often because of talent and the resources they allocate to basketball pure and simple. Maysville/Mason county has the Tom Browning's Boys Club, the Ymca and numerous park locations with basketball courts that have been very kind to fostering basketball talent. I realize other 10th communities have these type of facilities but not to the degree that they are designed and coordinated precisely to establish a feeder system for basketball. Ask the folks from Adams, Bracken, Brown, Fleming, Lewis and Robertson counties that also take advantage of these facilties and programs to the benefit of there teams. Mason's method should be copied by any community that takes basketball seriously not labeled as unfair for having the visonaries in place in the 1960's to build a gym for people of all neighboring communities to enjoy. A couple of other points, is the Fieldhouse really such a home advantage for the Royals in March? Pendleton county played in the Fieldhouse 7 times during region winning year of 05 with Montgomery county playing there 6 times. The Mason officials are liberal with sharing there gym with all comers. Take a poll among Devilman, Polar Bear 1994 and others on what the percentage of fans from Bracken and Robertson counties make up a Friday/Saturday crowd at the Fieldhouse and I'm fairly confident they would say it's staggering. The 10th region tournament transcends the particular matchup of the night but gives fans from all the schools a chance to see a great basketball and file great memories. It would be a shame for two schools and jealousy to ruin it for the other communities. One other and final point in my opinion Harrison county is the only school that can measure to Mason; from Kellar Works, the Jenkins brothers, Jerry Fogle on to Rob Ogden the Breds have won the 10th often. I never hear one argument from there fans and for good reason, they have won the tournament many times and with continued success at the Fieldhouse. Well, I'm wrong I guess they did have an unfair advantage in 97' when they had to stay at the Maysville Ramada due to the flood in Cynthiana. With some of the stuff said today I suppose there commute to games wasn't long enough so they should give back there trophy!

 

 

Im confident in saying that year in, year out... whether we're in it or not, Bracken co. brings more fans than just about anyone. Always have. Now if in 2008 it's at Montgomery--- I just dont see all of them traveling 60 miles to watch harrison/Mason in a semifinal game.

As a former 10th region coach, I tried multiple times over several years to get just ONE game in the fieldhouse with no success. Our team advanced to the region 3 times in 5 years and were competitive but were always in an unfamilar enviornement when we arrived. Not all schools had the oppurtunity to play in the fieldhouse.

Go to a neutral site but it is unfair to give any team in any region homecourt advantage year end and year out. Talent levels equal the home team still has the advantage. The Fieldhouse loyal have to reason with the fact that this is true in every situation or they know very little about sports at all. You are more comfortable and more likely to perform better in your own environment.:sleep: As far as fans, don't you think that fans from Clark,Montgomery, Estill and even Powell would go to a site close to them to watch quality high school basketball? I agree that the Bracken and Robertson fans may not drive to Mt Sterling in the numbers they do at the Fieldhouse but I think it would be offset by the fans surrounding the host schools or a neutral site.

Agreed. Good post.

That's what I was trying to say in post # 119.

There is no neutral sight to go to. Are Estill and Powell even in the 10th? Geographically Mason is much better for everyone except for like 2 schools. Why give Montgomery County home court advantage? That doesn't make it fair for Scott, PC, CC, Brossart, etc. etc. I guarantee the fans in the South of the region won't come out like they do in Mason County. People love going to Mason County to watch games. They like going to DeShas' and eating, or going to the pub afterwards. CC, Brossart, and Pendleton also bring a ton of people with Bracken and that won't happen at Montgomery County. I understand homecourt advantage, and I could care less if Montgomery County gets it. That doesn't make it fair for anyone else.

Exact match to Perry Central's facility.

 

I thought that it does look alot like the gym at PCC , which does hold 4200 people. Meanwhile the other perry county high school plays in a gym that won't seat 500 and only has bleachers on one side and has the students eating lunch on the gym floor.

7-7 would be 50%. 14-7 is very good.

You're right. 14-7 is a .666 winning percentage. What was I thinking? You know where I attended high school though.
