Jackson Southside.

 

yes. their gym is dark and color of the lights are orangey. looks like a gym you'd see in an old timey basketball film.

but i guess thats basically the problem with all these gyms! ...they're way older than any of these good looking gyms. obviously.

 

I agree ... the gym is too dark......... and Covington is a close second

 

Covington's gym floor is funky too..lol kinda messes with my eyes.. /dry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

Union City ... built all wrong b/c some artsy fartsy politician some 30-plus years ago said the town needed a civic auditorium tacked onto the school. So, they cut it into the gym, which barely seats 1,000 (I don't care what they say) and has never been big enough for sub-state/sectional games. bleachers should have been replaced 10 years ago, maybe 20, and the court is too small, even by junior high standards, with front row so close that people walking to and from their seats during a game actually have to dodge the players on the court. And, oh yeah, to get from upstairs to downstairs and vice versa, you can't just walk up and down a set of steps in the bleachers. You have to go outside the playing area. ... It is not worthy of a 5-time state champion team. It's not even worthy of a bad team. .... Needless to say, I've never liked it.

You are forgetting the fact that these gyms, along with probably every other gym named in this thread, are probably at least 50+ years old.

 

oh i know it. some of these places deff need to some work done. im 2003 when cosby played rockwood in the region championship at MIDWAY that was a sight to see. place may hold 550 packed. there was probly 800 in there. an i did play at cloudland actually that was very small too. old hancock co gym was one of the craziest places to play.

Saw Station Camp tonight and I see what you guys are saying. It seems like the playing surface is off center. The visiting side has minimum seating while the home side goes on forever. Finding the gym reminded me of the old Legend of Zelda video game. You walk around these halls and follow some signs, go through some double doors beside the home bleachers and suddenly there's a basketball game going on right in front of you! That's after you go through the parking lot maze to find the entrance. I thought one of Station Camp's cheerleaders was going through the floor right in front of the scorer's table on the home side. Big dead spot right there for sure. I didn't think the lighting was all that bad.

To go along with the thought of gyms being 50+ years old, let's give a shout out in this thread to Hillwood High School in Nashville. They are the only school that I know of that had to postpone their games last night because the roof in the gym was leaking so badly!

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
