I knew someone would be tacky enough to begin making comments about the tournament location. Okay folks, in the city of Paintsville, the PHS gymnasium is located about smack-dab in the middle of town. Directly behind the school is a parking lot. On the front side is a smaller parking lot plus street parking. There is the parking lots @ the First Baptist Church.(that alone is like half a block's worth of space) Then across from that is PES and there are two parking lots there. There's a city parking lot that is a block and a half away. There's ample parking. Like TG said, anywhere we've ever gone, there's about a 300 foot walk... for goodness sakes if that's too much opf an effort for you to come out and support your kids..... stay home. Save your breath. Then if your team makes it to Richmond... stay home then too, because it's at least a 300 foot walk to the door in a screaming cold wind and then some jerk will try to run you over while getting across the road to the steps into McBrayer Arena. Geeze, to hear some people talk you'd think every gym in the 15th is a state of the art facility. Do we bitch about them........NO......... every place has its faults. Like back when Belfry had a gym where there were 4 toilets in the ladies room without any dividers... it was downright un-nerving to tinkle while being able to see someone else tinkling right beside you out of your peripherial vision... but I don't recall anyone getting on here to complain.... but then they did erect wooden stalls before a regional tourney up there and wait a sec... that was before the "intranet"...LOL.... anyway.... finding a parking place @ P-burg is impossible as well as @ Betsy Layne's "Asterdome", but we don't get on here and make them feel badly about it..... and okay, when you go to Rupp, you pay big money for tickets, pay to park, and walk your ass off to get in..... c'mon people... get over yourselves.
