4 Quarters Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Any thoughts on how the girls attendance is matching up with the boys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maysvilleky Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Per TV sports last night...The Barren County game had the 6th largest crowd to attend a girls Sweet 16. Supposedly larger than any of the Boys' crowd this year. Don't know how the rest has gone. I think GRC had a large crowd also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gchs_uk9 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Any thoughts on how the girls attendance is matching up with the boys? It won't match up with the boys but I'm hoping the crowds are pretty good. I know its a really cool experience for the girls to get to play at Rupp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scribe Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 First round was a new record and almost 12,000 more than last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanvilleFan Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 First round was a new record and almost 12,000 more than last year. Do you think that's due to the teams that qualified or the more centralized location of the tournament? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scribe Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I think it's a combination but mostly it's giving the girls something they have never done before -- play at Rupp Arena. There are all kinds of girls who also grew up watching UK basketball and wondered what it was like to play in Rupp. It also gives mothers/fathers a chance to start a new tradition with their little girls much like fathers/sons did with the state tournament in the 60s and 70s. As far a central location, Scott County was just down the road and their student section stunk. I had my doubts but it may end up being the smartest decision the KHSAA has made since moving golf from the spring to the fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unbiased2011 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 My only complaint has been the seating It needs to be like BB&T open seating here is your teams area. This is your teams student section have a nice day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawgs83 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Sounds like Barren Co. Saved them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacMule Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Barren Co, Ryle and GRC all brought great crowds. Southwestern had a great crowd that got pretty loud at times, just not a whole of students. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
