    Future sites for the 10th region Tournament

    in KY Boys Basketball (High School)

    Posted

    There is no way that the tournament should be moved. The Fieldhouse seats around 6,000+ and sells out almost every year. Personally, there have been a few years when I could not arrive until a little late and could not get in the gym.

     

    I have to agree with Mustang that the Fieldhouse is the best place to host. Mustangs team is still a fairly young 10th region team and I do not here complaints from them. They have to drive about an 1 to 1-1/2 hours, just the same as Clark or Montgomery. All roads leading to the Fieldhouse are goods roads, AA highway and US 68. The Fieldhouse is fairly a central location and the best place to accomodate everyone. It is not our fault that the KHSAA has expanded the region from Alexandria to Mt. Sterling, about 2 hours worth of driving from the top of the region to the bottom. Unless they build a 10,000 seat arena at Blue Licks, which would be as central as you could get then the Fieldhouse is the place.

    You will always hear from those who feel like they're getting a raw deal when they have to play the district/regional tournament games at the Mason County Fieldhouse. On the rare occasion when the regional tourney was moved, however, there was "no room at the inn" for hundreds if not thousands of fans

     

    There is ABSOLUTELY nothing else in Kentucky high school basketball like the atmosphere in a packed Fieldhouse for the 10th region finals, with 6,400+ in attendance.

     

    I agree with the Fieldhouse. Alot of years you have to get there an hour early to even get in the door for the regional semi's and finals. The atmosphere there in March is like nothing else.

    Antwain Barbour's amazing performance in the state tournament semifinals vs. Russellville in the fourth quarter and the ongoing duel during the whole game vs. Dickerson and Key. A performance/game I'll never forget.

     

    I will have to agree that Barbour's performance on that Saturday was the greatest thing I have ever witnessed with my own eyes in high school b-ball.

    We were about to leave Rupp Arena with about a minute left and Russellville up by about 8 when for some unknown reason decided to watch the end. Glad the voice in my head kept me there.
