Any rumors circulating about which far flung corner of the state is bidding on state this year? Maybe Dermott or Hampton? We haven't been that way for state in 10 years or so haha

Maybe Strong or Hermitage will get it

BannerMountainMan

Man I really hope Clinton gets it this year, so close last year but it was a good one at Ida

Yes I have, have you?

Yes. No way hermitage holds a regional let alone state. Strong has a 1/100 chance.

Bout time for the horrible rotation back to Harrison. I know with 1A being so spread out it's harder to get in a GREAT location. But I hate that court! My votes Little Rock, Conway, Hot springs.

i guess I should clarify even more. The location of Little Rock in a decent gym, in a decent neighborhood, Pulaski Academy for example lol

Would love to see it back at Nashville, in my opinion one of the best atmospheres I have ever been to!!! The arena is completely 1st class and Coach Slayton put on a show with his announcing!!

BigLion10

Nah im more of a Baseline type of guy my self

Greers ferry westside would be a great location, and it is a class a gym.   Needs to be in north part this year.   mt ida did a good job last year.  for it to be at Clinton some class a school would need to sponsor.  dont know who that would be.   guy probably only one in area that for sure will make state.

Omaha @ NACC....

I'm not a fan of "it needs to be north because it was southern last year" just my take. Harrison is a horrible court, the state tournament shouldn't be played on a rubberized court ever. That's like practice gym material.

BigLion10

Harrison opened a new gym this year

I guess I may be incorrect but I could have SWORN that gym had a rubber coating back in 2015. Maybe it was just me but I didn't like that!  However all the pictures I'm finding look like a new floor in the gym so I'll be quite if it's a normal court.

The high school has a new gymand the college replaced the rubber floor with wood about 2 years ago.

are you? And Mt. Ida hosted on their own free accord. I'd be good with Kirby hosting it again at Nashville, or somewhere i don't know, New?!?

State was at Kirby South in 2015 and Kirby North in 2017, how about Kirby East (Henderson, Ouachita, Arkadelphia) or Kirby West (Mena or DeQueen}.......just saying......

Morrilton opening up new gym Monday night!! Talked to a guy today from Sacred Heart! Said Morrilton was going to bud state for Wonderview and Sacred Heart as co-hosts! Seats upwards of 2000 plus mezzanine! Video boards on both ends! Sacred plays Morrilton Monday to open it up! I'm going!!

Think closer to the East side of Kirby....west side of Hot Springs

I have heard that Morrilton will also bid on their own classifications state.

They just put in a brand new wood floor at the college in Harrison.. It is gorgeous!!

It would be cool to host in Conways gym. def big enough.

NWA Hawg

I don't know why everyone wants it in a big gym. I like the fill of a mount Ida size gym where everyone is packed in. To me if you put it in a real big gym you lose the feel of a state tournament.

I saw that. I'm fine with Harrison every 3-4 years on a wood floor. It's not okay to drive that far for some of us to watch basketball in a place that doesn't even have a normal court.

1A State will be in Hempwallace. Right off Wolf Dr, right past Adam Brown Rd.

I know for a fact they'll at least be putting the bid in, and it's hard to say it's not a good location when 5 days later the finals are across town...

It's a good location because it's minutes from Kirby... You can admit it, it's okay lol
