Most of you posting are younger and like the new gyms of the newer schools which are all nice. But for atmostphere you must go back to the older gym. Everts when we played there in 1979 had a nice team and when they played their 1-3-1 half court the 3 middle players could stand and touch fingers as the court was so narrow. Not only was the old Virgie teams great but the fans would stand on the upper deck and shake the goals when you shot. Somewhere maybe Dorton had chicken wire around the upper deck. At Feds Creek the fans feet were on the floor and the upper deck ones could hang out over the floor. Always not good for a visiting player taking the ball out of bounds.

Papaw who played for Virgie always talk about how the ole gyms where. I am so awe-inspired that I look listening and hearing how the old "dead spots" in the floor gave Virgie the best advantage because they knew where to go and what spots to avoid.
