I think 10 am is a poor time to start a High School basketball game.There not pee wee games there high school championship games.They have plenty of time Sat to start later.Im sure OHSAA made that call,typical for them.

Lots of state championship games are played at 10:00.

try playing a football game at 10:00am for a state title!

[93Bulldog]

Your DII and DIII state semi-finals will be played at 10:45 this year at the Schott.

With lots of schools closing for Tuesday, is there a chance we could be reshuffling yet again?!?!

[indians10]

Its not 10,its 10 30 or 10 45,and one big difference is the teams that win usually stay over night so they don't have a long trip back to Columbus for the finals.Another reason is in order to get all the championship games in,they spread them out some so they can empty the arena .I think 10 am is to early when teams are going to have to travel 2 hrs or so to get there.They have plenty of time sat,if they started the first game later.

With 5 games, if you allow 2 hours per game plus a half hour in between, that's a 12-hour day. You would rather someone have to play until midnight?

Also, if I'm not mistaken, the gym is going to be cleared between sessions (essentially between divisions/brackets)?

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: I will be having head coach Wayne Horsley either stop by the station or call in to talk about (a) the Athens Lady Bulldogs game last night versus West Holmes and (b) the southeast district tournament at the Convocation Center. Coach Horsley serves as the site manager at the Convo and I will be asking him a variety of questions about this years tournament.

Please post any questions you would like to know the answers to and I will ask them.

The show can be heard live on 970WATH or 970wath.com from 6:06-7:00. I will also record and podcast the show on 970wath.com.

Thanks.

Has anyone else noticed that the Convo is really in need of some updates? Mostly the seats....nearly every seat around our section last night was ripped open to different degrees and padding falling out. Still an amazing place to watch a game and way better than sitting on bleachers!

[MTSWNGRVSG]

Word is that the seats will be taken care of this off season

They have just started a 3Million dollar renovation of the Convo this winter. If you notice the Hall of Fame area is being totally redone, with new graphics, plaques and lighting, all will be done by next fall. The seating is being completely replaced as well as many other updates to the old lady.

Just my two cents, but people on here have complained about D4 schools getting to play at the Convo due to crowds, well I'm told one of the D3 teams (I believe South Point?) had hardly any fans there.

[93Bulldog]

South Point didn't have 1 single student in their designated student section yesterday ... I believe the Valley basketball team was the only patrons sitting in that area.

That is sad, if their own peers did not show up for the game.

a lot of the kids that set in the students section were in the state weightlifting meet that same same day. We had a lot of students there they just did not sit altogether.
