Has anyone heard if there's anybody bidding for state this year?

Drew Central did a heck of a job last year. I wouldn't mind it going there again. Such a great atmosphere each night, from tip off, to buzzer. THAT'S what a State Tournament atmosphere should feel like.

Osceola loved Drew Central hosting last year too.... The Seminoles want it played there again asap.

Hey it might be the other way around if they can get the new arena built in time just saying

I'd rather it be somewhere that had descent seating.

Fan comfort is overrated


I totally agree with this.... best atmospheres are when there is no comfort going on!!

I like Riverview, thought Bald Knob put on a fantastic tournament with a modern facility & you can never go wrong with Jessieville. All 3 with some relevance of quality facilities & officials pool.

If they can get done with their arena then I wouldn't mind seeing Osceola get it

As a Drew Central fan, I don't see us bidding for state again for a lil while, so you're welcome to those complaining about comfort and refs that the AAA hires.

When we played at Two Rivers before Thanksgiving it was rumored they were planning to bid. They have a decent facility that could setup for a great atmosphere.

I agree Two Rivers has a nice gym but one would have to travel to Russellville for lodging.

The last time it was at Riverview, it was extremely crowded.

Paperman

Osceola has bid on hosting the 3A event. I guess we will find out where it will be Jan. 10 or so.

I can do Osceola, be in my bed 23 minutes after I walk out the door.

Didn't your team lose in that "cow barn"? Didn't hear any other team complaining about the "welded on rims" or "cheating refs" that were hired by the AAA. Maybe you and your team should worry about free throws instead of venues.

If you didn't, you deaf! Ask Osceola, Rivercrest, Charleston. All 3 got the shaft in the barn. I feel sorry for barns making the comparison.

U talking bout Drew Central HL?? They still have the wood bleachers and all down there?

yea, the people were very hospitable & nice. Under no circumstances should that facility host a post season tournament. This is not a knock on the people, friendly as you will find.

How about we try to get Central Arkansas locations? Better driving distances for most. Also better lodging, hotel, and dining options. Maybe something like UALR or UCA or Hendrix.

We had regionals last year and that went relatively well. I hope we do bid for state. It'd be a nice farewell for my announcing career

It's time for it to come back to Jessieville!

I talked to your AD at the Atkins/Two Rivers football game and he told me that y'all were going to bid on the state tourney.

Wasn't two Rivers supposedly gonna bid last year?

Someone in the TR admin told me last year that they had thought about bidding on state but decided to use regionals as a trial run to see if they wanted to bid this year

Jessieville will not bid on regionals or state tournament this year.

I agree with Lion on this one. I've seen walk-in closets as big as that lobby!
I'd love to see it at Osceola's new gym.

Osceola superintendent just announced at grand opening, they would be hosting state tournament.🤔🤔🤔 I didn't think they had the meeting yet?

Give the AAA enough money and they let you choose state site 🤷

STORM

Osceola's new gym doesn't seat what I thought it would. I counted less than 265 on each side , endzones will seat a few more but not much, very nice arena though.

Missco

It is roomy. The standing room only area is huge. I heard that the fire marshal count for the gym was around 2500 with 1800 numbered slots. I hope they get it.

How does having the tournament in Osceola make any sense whatsoever?

Bout like Drew Central but a million times better gym. Both in the corners of the state. Osceola is great for me. The only burr in my saddle is their AAA voting member did not support Manila getting it last year & extremely hurt both our teams. He did this for payback votes for them to have it this year. I felt like he should have supported the school in his conference as well as the same county. 🤷🏼‍♂️
