Deming has not played their final game just yet. At the earliest they could be in the new school by January 2013. Until they physically move into the new school the uniforms will say Deming. Once the move is made they will then be Robertson County. Only fitting they play as Deming until the move is made. I for one am glad it will be called Robertson County.

 

As for the gym. The estimate given to me is it will seat between 1200-1400. Pretty nice design. Will be a nice site for All "A" Region and possible District tournaments. However, don't believe it will be large enough to host region as posted in another thread.

 

Very happy for the people of Robertson as this will be an asset for the entire community.

Thay have said maybe after first week of December but it's coming, and they are moving faster then when they first started on it. The roof is being put together now over what looks the the gym/auditoriium part of the complex.

I guess a centrally located,7000 seat arena to host the 10th region will just have to remain a dream.

My mistake. It's late, and I misunderstood.

Loved the old Deming gym! Change is inevitable.

 

Good memories. A friend of mine won his 100th game of his career there.

The only wall of the gym that's completed is the west wall. Gym will be the last to be under roof. Probably by late April it will be capped off. Entire building is very impressive.

 

Deming has only been know as Deming. That's the only name to have ever been on jersey's. At no time were they referred to as Mount Olivet Deming in the 90's.

 

When the present school was built in 1927. The Deming family donated the land with the stipulation the school be called Deming. If it was not called Deming they weren't going to give the land to the Robertson County school system.

Unfortunately no. But if someone would win the powerball or mega millions I'm sure they would appreciate a donation to build one 7000 plus.

I know the news media from Lexington and Cincy called us that.

No disputing that. They often do so people know where it's located. With the name change that won't be a problem. But it never was the official name.

 

 

After talking to some people. I need to correct my previous post about how Deming came about. The Deming family did NOT donate the lane. They sold the land to the school. But, they would only sell it if they named it Deming. So the Robertson County school board had to buy the land and use the Deming name. I'm glad the county will finally get some recognition. Now maybe people will quit asking where Deming County is located.

It's funny you mentioned the Deming County title believe it or not their some that still do. Someone asked me the week of the district tournament. Has anyone seen the new Farwell to the region shirts fans are wearing? I need to order myself one.
