FKIM01 Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 New Albany got an easy draw I see. I would almost go over to Seymour to watch NA vs. Floyd Central in the championship, assuming everything falls as expected. That would be a revenge game for New Albany.

FKIM01 Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Yeah, Floyd Central has a very tough draw in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billingsley99 Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Living and coaching in this area there are not IMO any better sectionals in the state. Maybe equal but that gym puts it over the top for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FKIM01 Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 As I remember, Seymour and Washington are very close in capacity. New Castle is the big one though. I looked and I was a little off. Washington just over 7,000 and Seymour just over 8,000. New Castle is the biggest at 9,325. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, number wise, Seymour and Washington are close. However, if you wear anything larger than a shmedium you might want to get 2 tickets at Seymour.

jefftheref Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Class basketball has ruined Indiana basketball. There was nothing going it back in the day. We went to the Muncie Sectional and the New Castle Regionals. I wish they would change it back to the way it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FKIM01 Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Saw that Blackford with the very good freshman guard was in the New Castle sectional. Bummer for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the fill up New Castle's gym like they did when I played there. There was nothing like playing a game in front of 10,000 fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drroogh Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Totally irrelevant, but I remember Floyd Central giving EC Washington everything they could handle back in 71. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 I agree that class basketball sucks I also think that this board has a bias towards southern Indiana. Look at the East Noble bracket. E. Noble , Carroll and North Side all would hold their own regardless the competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not irrelevant at all. Part of what Indiana prep basketball is all about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, some of the young ones should check out some of the prep history around the state to truly understand Indiana basketball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the most dedicated fans come from schools in small communities. Those communities now have hope. Even with class ball there were huge discrepancies in the quality of sectionals. For me the Regional is always the most special. New Albany is guaranteed two uality opponents in the regional. Without class ball two of their three regional foes would be easy opponents.

I was from a small community and we had hope every year I played. Imagine a small hick school beating # 4 ranked Muncie Central in the Sectional Final and then beating #1 ranked New Castle in the regional at their field house in front of 10, 000 fans. You don't see those kind of games today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't see those kind of games today. Did that actually happen or is this a classic case of remembering the past as better than it really was? New Castle isn't getting 10,000 fans for any game today regardless of tournament structure. People just don't care enough anymore to watch teams that aren't their own.

Floyd beat NA and Jeff gave Floyd all they wanted without one of their starters. Plus BNL took Floyd to OT. That sectional you mentioned could compare to any other sectional in the state other than Seymour and the one Warren plays in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
