Best Gyms in the State
The Professor replied to EliteScout33's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
Well, I could see how the numbers for occupancy would be higher if seating on the floor for events other than basketball is considered in the count. Breathitt would come close to the 4,000 number listed if chair seating on the playing court is part of the total. But obviously for a basketball game there would be no court seating, only bleachers. The total attendance is going to be much lower than what’s listed on the wall. -

Yeah, they embellish the numbers in most of them. -

I know that’s what they have listed but it won’t seat that many. Maybe 3,000 if you really pack them in and also count standing room. But it is a beautiful gym. One of the nicest looking ones in the state. I think Perry Central is 4,000. Knott Central is the largest in the region as I mentioned. 5,000. -
Hazard's Wade Pelphrey commits to EKU
The Professor replied to All State Baseball's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
He’s a very good guard. Excellent shooter, ball handler and facilitator. Good pickup for my alma mater. -

Breathitt Coliseum doesn’t come remotely close to seating 4,000. More like 2,800. It has the appearance that it seats more because of its dome design but their rows of seats shorten in width as you climb higher to the back rows. The largest gym in the 14th region is Knott County Central, which seats 5,000. -
Knott’ Central’s disadvantage in this game was the same that all 14th region teams faced this season, no height. The top 4 teams in the region were basically all guard oriented. That won’t work against teams such as Sacred Heart. I knew the 7th region was a tough draw for the 14th when drawings were posted.

2021 Mr. Basketball Finalists
The Professor replied to Colonels_Wear_Blue's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
I’ve only seen Johnson play once, vs North Laurel in a streamed TV game. But after watching Vinson throughout his 4 state tournament games I would say Vinson by a good margin. Unfortunately for him though, the vote was before the state tournament. That needs to be changed next year. -
Not sure but a good guess would be the 11th region. Both Henry Clay and Lafayette have 6 championships. I know LexCath has won it at least twice. Madison Central once. Dunbar once. Scott County would have has had a title since entering the 11th from the 8th. I’m sure there’s several more schools with titles in the 11th.

E-town has had too much quickness/speed for every team they have played in the tournament and I don’t see that changing tonight. A missed shot attempt is a layup on the other end of the court in the blink of an eye. Whether Highlands can slow them down is the question because no one else has, including powerful Ballard. Also the 3s that Highlands is so good at will not go uncontested tonight. Now, with that said Vinson is very capable of taking over the game and winning it for the Bluebirds. He is one of the most impressive high school talents I’ve seen at the tournament. But I think the Panthers win by around 5.
