I attended the 8th region title last night at “the Roy” in New Castle last night. Henry County’s gym is a throwback to old school basketball, it reminds me of a gym one would see in the movie Hoosiers. It’s a horseshoe design that seats over 5,000. All seats are bleachers, so you can fit people in like sardines. Great sight lines from anywhere there and a great environment.

The Arena is fine in that you can hold events there and not worry overfilling capacity. That said, the experience is meh. General admission seating on the corners has the worst sight lines of any gym or arena I’ve been to. You may as well bring binoculars, or watch from the concourse. The sound on the locker room end is muffled and distorted. Can’t say I’m a fan of the Arena

I wonder if the Harlan County schools will opt to hold the regional st HC when it’s their turn to host regionals?
