He draws a lot of fouls and cashes in at the charity stripe. He will show well at the Arby’s. I think I will probably go to the 13th Region tournament this year. I went to 15th two years ago and 14th last year. Region tournaments in Kentucky are mega fun to go watch in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are indeed fun to watch. In Kentucky you must win your region to qualify for state unlike in Tennessee region runners up move on. Also, Kentucky does not class their basketball. Region championships are truly earned. Mountain basketball in Kentucky (regions 12-13-14-15-16) produce electric atmospheres at region tournaments. Those people are basketball fanatics!

How much does Corbin arena hold? 14th region is at Perry County Central and it holds around 5000 I believe. 15th region is at Appalachian Wireless Arena and it holds more than that. Both of those places were packed to the gills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TribalEmpire Posted December 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2023 Can G-Dub keep up this pace with Mentor? They do it pretty well themselves but have never faced it from anyone in the Commonwealth like they are here. G-Dub 49, Mentor 44 at the half Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of those places were packed to the gills. I think around 3500. Not 100% sure. Last year Reed Sheppards high school won the region and it was full. Atmosphere is hurt some because playing floor is too far from seating but plenty of parking and good seating viewpoints. Biggest issue you will encounter is getting out. Arena sits on a hill and only one road in and out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creekerballer Posted December 28, 2023 Report Share Posted December 28, 2023 What a game! That’s why you play to win instead of not to lose. Don’t get me wrong, I understand it, it’s within the rules here, but trying to hold the basketball for over 2 minutes of game time just stinks, and really shouldn’t be an option. Congrats to Mentor and hats off to GW they’re super impressive, Kritner was unreal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TribalEmpire Posted December 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2023 G-Dub's performance in this tournament thus far, they're the runaway favorite to win 1A in Virginia. They won't face competition like this beyond February. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
