where are states quarterfinals being held

I've been told the quarterfinals and semis in 2A are held at UVA - Wise this year.

That is correct. Beginning last year, 2A is on a rotating schedule with JMU and UVa-Wise for 6 years.

Assuming Gate City has the season everyone is predicting for them - that will be nice having "home court" in the quarters/semis (if that's how things work out).

 

[SWVA-basketball-jones]

Yeah they may ..... A lot like Lee had last year.

 

[JJK fan]

If I'm not mistaken, I think the VHSL has changed their mind again. No supersites this year.

1/4 finals and semis should be in a more centralized location. I went out to Wise 2 years ago and I didn't like it. I doubt I go back out there. We have a bunch of geniuses running the VHSL. I think it's ridiculous having a team cross an entire state to play a game and even more asinine to have a team do it twice in less than a week!!!!

Let's investigate JJK's rumor. I have very much enjoyed the games at JMU the last few years and was hoping they would continue that trend.

 

[GC_Devils]

Well the VHSL site has recently put this up, so JJK may be right:

Quarterfinals March 2 & 3 at higher seed sites
Semifinals March 5 & 6 at higher seed sites
Finals March 8 through 10 at VCU Siegel Center

 

[SWVA-basketball-jones]

Anywhere but JMU! The arena is horrible and the floor looks like someone designed it with a Bedazzler.

Why did you not like Wise? It's got to be one of the better D2 arenas in the country. Was it the curvy roads? If so, I will grant you that.

 

[AntGZee]

Yes, it was the ride that I didn't care much for. The gym was beautiful. I had no problem with the facilities.

Yeah, Tacoma Mountain Road, the road leading up to the college from Coeburn is an adventure for sure. I know that road like the back of my hand now though, so I drive it like a rallycross driver most of the time.

That road used to be closed during the winter months back when I was in college 20+ years ago because the state didn't want to keep it maintained back then.

Ant, I made that drive for 8 years going to baseball games at the college. Really not a bad drive once you get used to it. Ah, Tacoma Mt Road, used it many times. Sometimes used to get off in Coeburn and go up Coeburn Mt Road when I had time, another fun trip. Wise has beautiful facilities and Will be a good host.

Coeburn Mountain Road is the less curvier of the two roads, but it's the longer of the two options coming from that direction. If you use a GPS, it will tell you to take Coeburn Mountain, though I am not sure exactly why.
