Many of the local high school gyms are nicer than some of the college gyms, not to mention that they are larger. Milligan, King, and Tusculum have nice gyms but I am not sure that they would be large enough to accomadate the crowds you can end up with. Last week's District 1-AAA tournament championship night was played at Boone and there was barely enough seating to accomodate everyone. Also, since the sites generally rotate, so does the advantage. That's just part of it. Also, I would agree that sometimes playig on the road can be its own advantage and makes those wins especially sweet. So it happens to be Elizabethton's year to host? How long has it been since they got to host? I'd venture to say it has been awhile. I'm sure it will be a great game if they end up meeting Grainger.
