Just an fyi, baseball and basketball post season play is played on a neutral field/court.

And 100% of the time the best team wins

I dont think the best team has won at UVA Wise much at all. PV was the better team in 07 by 3 or 4 tds but GC beat them at Wise. You take teams out of their element and all hades breaks loose. Had that game been played at PV who was the top seed then PV would have went on to play Gretna for state. I may be eating crow later but if Clintwood faces Burton up there this year then you can crown Burton Region D Champs. That field favors Burtons play style too much and we all know who the better team is. As for the CHAMPIONSHIP being played on a neutral field I dont call the Region Championship game a real Championship. It is just a State Quarterfinal game and the only Championship that matters is the State Title.

I am not totally against the Region games being at Wise. When UVA Wise gets their new Field Turf they need to order one like Salems with both College and HS markings. That and buy a set of goal posts that can be widened to HS specs. That way if this new playoff format dont work out then they will have a suitable field to host these games and there would be nothing anyone could say about the games being played there. That field turf is very similar to a grass field and having HS markings would be a great way for Wise to show just how interested they are in hosting these games.

I still keep in contact with the people I met from Jefferson Forest and Brookvillie and have become good friends with a couple of guys from George Wythe I met sitting in their stadium. I gave my seat to a family from Honaker so they could sit together, not every fan is rude you need to go to Tennessee High or Sullivan South that is rudeness personified. I know most hate is generated by jealousy and that is why people hate GC,PV, and Appy. If your not good at anything one can never be humble, I think alot of fans need more humility but they did pay to get in and it is still a free country.

Had some guys at South invite me to sit with them on their side and told me to cheer for GC all I wanted. Even offered to buy the food.:D

State quarterfinals in baseball are played at the Regional champions home site. Sometimes there are exceptions. GC played at VA. High 2 years ago because Hunter Wright was not available. Before that, though they played their quarterfinal games at HW.

From some very good sources UVA Wise will be the Basketball site in Region D soon. As for now I dont see why they dont do like Volleyball did. Play the D1 games at VHS and the D2 games at Castlewood. That is unless Castlewood is a D2 school in Bball.

Or just rotate basketball between five sites: Castlewood, Lebanon, Virginia High, Clinchco and the new Wise arena.

Clinchco should be taken off of that list for numerous reasons.
