So that isn't a factor Well we use to play New castle every year in the regular season and since class basketball we have not played so to me their is a correlation between the two.

My mom and dad are in their 70's and every little town had a high school before consolidation. They had to start the sectional and play during the day in the middle of the week and the kids got to get out of school to go to the games.

NotIThatLives Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 Kokomo hosted an old school sectional 2 or 3 years ago in the middle of the season. Have no clue how that went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have no clue how that went. Kokomo also won like 70 sectionals before class ball. Not as successful now. Meanwhile the Indy scools had to go through each other even before class. Much more equitable now. Sure once evry10 years a random small school might win one. Nut in many parts of the state the big town schools dominated.

btownqb Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 For class basketball being the reason IN HS Bball has supposedly suffered, you certainly wouldn't be able to tell at the Seymour Sectional. They have already sold 8100 full session tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 2 oldest kids were in elem school at the time i was able to coach in that gym and i am thankful for those memories. It was awesome to experience it with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would highly recommend watching a regional at Washington. The Hatchet House is a fantastic place to watch a game. Seymour is really cool and gets incredibly loud, but it gets so packed and you cannot move. Still pretty cool watching games with over 8,000 people. Southport is an excellent gym, Jaspers is probably the nicest gym I've been in along with Franklin Community. I will watch a game at New Castle before I die.

What is a little unique about New Castle is when you come in you at ground floor you are at the top. The bleachers and the court are underground.

It was unreal coming out to warm up and there were 10,000 fans in the gym. Also they had one of those tartan floors when we played there. If I am not mistaken Michigan State also had one in Jenison Fieldhouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My school played there every year including sectionals and when I was younger it was always packed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure Connersville sold it out last year in the sectional or regional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went to Washington in 1973 and I am pretty sure he was Steve Bouchie's high school coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think next winter I want to check off Seymour, Washington, New Castle, couple others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
