I don't necessarily mind this, but it could very well make travel longer for some of the lower seeds. In our girls sectional last year, that would have meant Edison going down to Clear Fork and then Huron going down to Clear Fork. Those are two really long drives. |

I always like buying a ticket for a neutral site once the post season starts. I suppose now for basketball I just have to wait until District for that. |

I like to watch area games during tourney time as well, and you could often watch 2 games per location on most nights (and they don't usually clear the gym for sectional games). But as somebody already mentioned, the NW district was pretty much the last holdout on this move. |

While I will miss the double sessions a the the neutral sites. The Willard at Lex Sectional final or something like that would be cool. At least from my perspective .

High seeds will host the sectional games and the district site for D2 could be whatever school in the Mansfield area that doesn't make it.
