Everybody knows Elliott's gym only seats 1,200 people. Everybody knows it's going to be crowded...and uncomfortable. The school is offering plush chairback seats in the Performing Arts Center. You can watch and listen to the game there on the 18' big screen (with surround sound). That's where I'll be.

 

Anyway, some people are still attempting get the districts moved away from Elliott. I have a problem with that. Elliott players should have every opportunity to win their district on their home floor as other 62nd district players.

 

The game is not about the parents, fans, or even the students. It's about the players. They are the ones working thier tails off for the wins. The rest of us do nothing--except keep the concession stand busy.

 

I say let the smaller schools have thier turn at hosting the districts too. Even if the fans have to "scrunch up" a little. Menifee, Rose Hill, and Elliott all deserve the opportunity.

Good points. By the way, does anybody know when 62d district will set the times and dates for the tournament?? One would assume next week sometime?? We are only two weeks from Monday on starting district play.
