- Satisfactory capacity within the facility to safely accommodate past (five years) and expected attendance numbers;
2018 - Johnson Central
2017 - Magoffin County
2016 - Paintsville
2015 - Johnson Central
2014 - Johnson Central

According to the KHSAA school directory, here are the listed capacity for each school.......
Paintsville - 2,000
Magoffin County - 2,000
Johnson Central - 3,500
Martin County - TBA

There is NO WAY Magoffin County's gym & Paintsville's gym hold the same amount of people. It would take the state engineer's office to convince me otherwise. Meaning, four of the past five 57th district tournaments have been held in gyms that have a way bigger attendance number than can be held in Paintsville's gym. The attendance will be good for this district tournament, but not even close to the numbers we've seen the past four of five years. I don't know the overall attendance numbers for the past five district tournaments, but the average has to be way higher than the capacity Paintsville's gym is listed for.

Stay home and listen on the radio.
That place was rocking last night. The Trainer for the Tourny isn't from the area and she said that was the one of the most awesome things she has experienced. The start of the first game last night....The gym wasn't 3/4 way full and most of those were JC/Paintsville fans. Come on man you're better than this.
