Smallest Gym in Tennessee

[Rangerbook06]

Forge Ridge is the smallest I have been in but I think it is closed now.

Yes, they combined wit Powell Valley to make Cumberland Gap. Was Forge Ridge's gym smaller than Clinch's?

does this count middle school too

Clinch's gym is way smaller than Forge Ridge's. The gym at Clinch isn't even regulation length and at most you can fit 100 people in there... including both teams. Kind of like the old gym at Tusculum used to be.... The gym at Clinch is at least 60 years old, my mom played there when she was in school there in the 1940's and she said the only real change since she was there is the scoreboard.

 

I will say this... the new gym at Cumberland Gap is nice. So is the gym at Claiborne as well, even if they are exactly the same.

Clinch's gym floor is regulation size. It holds about 300 people. Was built in the fifties. A new roof and locker rooms added this year, with a new floor to be added this summer.

I'm not sure about all the gyms that everyone has mentioned, but in the middle tn area i have not seen a smaller high school gym than the one located in Hermitage Springs, as for middle school gyms the one at Dodson Branch beats all of them hands down, if you can get 50 people in there you've done something.

Thats good to know. Last year when we played Clinch, they had to stop the game for a short time because the roof was leaking. Those locker rooms were also nasty. Could barly stay in there at all it smelled so bad...... Do you go to Clinch or are a parent there? Its good they are getting new things, because it was pretty nasty over there. The floor looked like it hadn't been waxed in decades.

CCS and Baylor have two VERY small gyms.. I have yet to go to a game in these gyms where people were not standing on the floor

Of the gyms I've been in.. which I haven't been in alot mentioned on here, I'd say Columbia Academy has one of the smallest gyms out there.. it's really set up bad too.. not a very good gym at all.

Rutledge's gym stinks to play in!!

The smallest I have ever been in is South Pittsburg.

That was the rest room! Just kidding. South Pittsburg has the oldest active gymn in the old SVC except for maybe Grundy Co's. Everyone in the valley built new High schools around 1980, Sequatchie Co, Bledsoe Co., Whitwell, Jasper. Sale Creek and Lookout Valley already had a relatively new gymn at the time.
