Looking forward to it

Nice. Think it will sell out?

No way...no one goes to tournament games since class basketball. There might be a couple of hundred people there.

The Hatchet House seats over 7K, so it won't sell out. That being said, Montgomery (Barr-Reeve) is 5 minutes down the road and the town will be emptied for the game. Bloomfield is 40 minutes to the north, a Barr-Reeve rival, and travels well.

The drive times for Center Grove and Ben Davis are ridiculous - another reason class basketball sucks.

Yeah, very familiar with the area. I have not been in the Hatchet House for a Semi-state and didn't know how the teams up north would travel. Don't know if I can go or not but would like to be able to at the last minute if I can.

Montgomery is only seven miles from Washington. I used to ride my bicycle to there and then worked my way up to riding all the way to Loogootee. Bloomfield is about an hour from Washington so I believe the Hatchet House will be somewhat full. When Barr Reeve plays Washington it is actually a huge event. A buddy of mine said that both schools really look forward to it and it is well attended.

Barr-Reeve's coach went to high school and played for Bloomfield, so there is also that. Should be good.

My son-in-law is the younger brother of Coach Josh Thompson. From what he told me... the last time that the Current Coach of Bloomfield and Josh Thompson was at a Semi-State game.... is when Josh played for him at Bloomfield. So that adds some interest to the game.

McBride's older than dirt. He coached me and Josh's dad in Jr Hi.

Josh is a great guy and coached at our school several years ago.

It could be north of 6,000 Saturday.
Big question is .Does Indy bring a crowd.
Last year Indianapolis Scecina was here .Didn't bring much .But the TJD / Jones matchup should stir the interest. That's a two titan's in middle.

Bloomfield is an hour from Washington? You must be traveling by horse and buggy! It’s only about 30 miles.

I guess if you take 69 you can make it.

I did not know where he played. Wow, you are correct. Lots of emotional drama.
