I agree with several posts that have been made about the tradition of out gym. Our gym represents the tradition of small Eastern Kentucky basketball. Basketball in Eastern Kentucky was built on the backs of small schools like Carr Creek, Paintsville, Van Lear, and Flat Gap. These schools created the spirit of basketball that still roars in these hills today. Though our gym is small, it still has the character of this basketball history. Furthermore, we are still able to produce great teams without the fancy facilities of many of our rivals. I believe that everyone should take pride that there is still a school in this area that is holding steadfast to the traditions of the past: hot, crowded gyms with fans yelling so loud that you can't even hear the person sitting next to you speak. These games are so much more fun when it is hot and crowded and everyone is yelling like crazy!
Granted, more seating would be benificial, but I believe it would take away much of the character of our school. I grew up watching games in that gym, cheering in that gym, and developed thousands of memories that I will hold forever in that gym. Because of our small "Cracker-box gym" and the wonderful memories I built at Paintsville.
I am a TIGER, and I will be until the day I die.
