How are the locations for regionals determined? I just want to note the Region 1 numbers. This is a tournament where most likely 3 (possibly all 4) District 2 teams will win the first-round games. This is how far District 2 teams will have to travel ONE WAY for THREE days during the school week. Seems a bit crazy to me.
District 2 teams:
NC School to Oakes: 121 miles
Fargo to Oakes: 120 miles
Casselton to Oakes: 98 miles
Kindred to Oakes: 87 miles
District 1 teams:
Hankinson to Oakes: 62 miles
Gwinner to Oakes: 26 miles
Milnor to Oakes: 39 miles
Oakes: 0 miles
Volleyball is becoming a more popular sport. Why do we insist on having schools continue to host these tournaments? What is wrong with the Fargo Civic Center or Valley City or Wahpeton? Oak Grove hosted the Region 1 tourney last year and it was WAY TOO SMALL. What needs to happen to make a change here? We do it for basketball, why not volleyball?
