Leatherhead Larry 530 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 They better hope they have it somewhere with plenty of seats. Teams down this way are gonna travel well no matter where it's at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowTheWestWasWon2017 24 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 Finished up some work late tonight. Saw the post. I have been to James River HS a few times watching the 'Cats play. JRHS is a very nice school located besides the James River. The gym is very new and my guess is it can hold around 2500 spectators. Lots of parking also. If this is the site it is a great one. It has held a lot of regional tournaments in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mhsalum 31 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 Using GMan's seating scale, some quick math tells me that 1575 normal folks is equivalent to about 750 folks from Gate City GMan and Deleted Account 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GC_Quincy 582 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 The size difference is because we hold kids back until they're in their early 20's. Just gives other folks something else to whine about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather see Ridgeview's games at Clinchco, other than the gym they have now. But Clinchco Elementary is no longer used for anything now sadly. Wait, really?? I remember Haysi playing Radford there in the state quarters several years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
