Favorite Gyms???

[RCcitymiller]

Just wondering what everyone's favorite gym in wayne county was to play in. Being as Im from rc i gotta say i like our gym especially when its full. Other than that i really like the lyons community center gym where they host their games now. The floor is really unique and seems grippy than some of the other floors around. i remember when i played on jv and we played sodus at sodus and we went into overtime, the atmosphere was so loud it was amazing.

Here's my top three:

1.) Red Creek / Lyons

2.) Williamson

3.) ER

Not to rain on the parade here .... Yes the Lyons community center is a great facility but if you dribble the ball right around the lions head in the middle of the court the whole tip off circle is dead. It makes it very hard to dribble.

...really? i never experienced that. i wonder why that is...

[RCfan32]

When i played my favorite gym to play in was our own of course, but i always loved to play in East Rochester's gym. I dont know why, maybe it was their small court, all of the fans, i dont know and we never won a varsity game in that gym either but it was my favortie

[RCcitymiller]

yea their gym is kinda small...or at least it feels that way. I remember that one game two seasons ago at er when you dunked. Ha the RC section almost exploded.

[Red_White_Catcher15]

I remember last season when you got blocked (not to be mean, just to make a point)
and the ER section exploded...

ha and you've never been blocked in your career? of course the home crowd will 'explode' for a block on an opposing, or yet 'rival', teams player...thats just how it goes.

[Red_White_Catcher15]

I never said that i wasnt blocked..i was just making a point is all..

but you are right..:-)

[RCcitymiller]

Yea i know but i was just making a point as well.

..and yea haha

[mulesasbestmascot]

My favorite gym was NR-W. The rims there are wonderfully soft, and there's nothing quite like the memory of beating a team by twenty on their own senior night.

Their revenge might be beating Red Creek by 40 twice :eek:

[RCcitymiller]

that is a possiblity...but not a practical one in my eyes.

once maybe by <20 but twice by 40....the rotation of the earth would have to be altered, sry

[rcwildmarc17]

NRW would have to be my favorite gym as well, i mean shoulder dropping cody paul was the highlight of my varsity career... and rolling a ball into the middle of their senior night..... "what are you doing ramrod?" hahahahahahah

I don't like playing in NRW there is always no crowd there it seems but big section points for us small schools if we can beat them. BTW Sodus's warm up music is PRICELESS

[RCcitymiller]

haha yea..idk sometimes theres a big crowd at nrw..the biggest ive seen there was on their senior night and rc beat them by 20...but of course it was their senior night. the rims are nice but i wouldnt say soft...

sodus's warm up music is indeed.

[coachinbball]

Marion has a nice gym. It's big. Red Creek is nice, but I've never been there when it has lots of people. Williamson is good, but the straps over the rims drive me nuts. Sodus is nice, but lighting is poor. Understand what they mean about dead spots in Lyons, but still a nice gym. ER is good, just need more room behind the baskets. I like Gananda too and the set up with the locker rooms right off the gym is nice. I guess what I am saying is every gym has it's good and bad points, well except the big house. How can you say anything bad there??? ; )

[hoopfan33]

Marion - Great gym, bright lights, super clean - orange and black look tough together

Gananda - Best gym - bright, clean, huge and almost always full of fans

[OldSchool78]

Franklin....classic floor, bright and always loud

East High.......only during night games. The sun shine in during day games and you will get blinded.

Waterloo........brand new. Huge. Great Lighting

Midlakes.....always a packed house

Oakfield/Alabama......I have never been a big fan of the one sided bleacher system, but with the exception of having very little room on the bench side of the court, this is a nice atmosphere.

Notre Dame Batavia.....yes, the little bad box is a great place to play and work in. I can remember working the baseline as an official and going into Little Italy. I came out with 2 recipes for Greens and Beans, one for Mama's Homemade Sauce and 50 bucks. Notre Dame won the game.

Best gyms of Wayne County i thought this was

[sal iannello]

i think ER's gym has no traction

[hoopfan33]

and the baseline is too close to the wall

[RCcitymiller]

yea there's what like maybe 3-3.5 feet of room?..not even

[khiky69r]

Their revenge might be beating Red Creek by 40 twice :eek:

doubt it

[Manu15red devils]

i think ER's gym has no traction


I don't mind it. ER has that old school feel to it. Even though i remember the locker rooms being 10000 degrees in there

[BigD1844]

My favorite gym would have to be red creek, with its new floor and rims there are no dead spots on the court that i notice.

[sal iannello]

i forget what gym it is but theres a locker room where the handblowers smell awfull

[RC4lyfe]

i forget what gym it is but theres a locker room where the handblowers smell awfull

lol, its gotta be clyde

[RCfan32]

or williamson after the rotten chicken epidemic

[spartan24]

what was wrong with the music

[RCcitymiller]

what was wrong with the music

haha...hha haha....think about it.

[BSTfan]

I don't mind it. ER has that old school feel to it. Even though i remember the locker rooms being 10000 degrees in there
ya it is but i get what your saying it has like an old school feeling and having the crowd on both sides is sweet when they have a lot of people in the stands. that is why it is my favorite gym in wayne county

[wejhoopsman]

From a Spectator POV it has to be Gananda.. Bright, New and I love how it is all on one side.

[RCcitymiller]

idk...that balcony on the other side takes away from its aesthetics..maybe if that wasn't there the 'all on one side' would be kinda cool

[slamb750]

I wouldnt pick Sodus, just cause of the fact that when I was in school, there cheerleaders were horrible looking. Make a man go blind. LOL

[RC4lyfe]

yeah well its the same case in red creek. Im positive we would have won a lot more games if we didnt have any cheerleaders.

[sal iannello]

u should see marions it makes ya not wanna play i dont even know if we have cheerleading any more

[Snowboarder32]

In Alexander we have a rock wall haha

[RCcitymiller]

seriously guys some of the girls they let cheerlead must be because they feel bad for them or something...idk its just plain wrong sometimes...

[RCfan32]

agreed, thats why im glad i dont have any cheerleaders this year in college...haha good luck with those Red Creek chearleaders again shane, i know u just love to watch them do their moves (if thats what you want to call them) or dropping girls on their heads at half time.hahahahahaha. wow im glad i dont have to watch them anymore!!! but you know that hootie loves em..

[RCcitymiller]

BOOM DYNAMITE...YES WE'RE DYNAMITE

oh god help me lol...

and they were only suppose to order 2 XL uniforms this year...

[CrazyPete]

or williamson after the rotten chicken epidemic

hahahah that i will never forget... that was horrible

[thetreeoflife8]

1) okay Lyons community center is the best not their own gym, their high school gym blows
2)Gananda because its the newest of all the gyms
3)idk who else unless one was remodeled because all the other gyms NW, Marion, RC, ER, Sodus, Williamson, CS are all old and horrible!

[daillest]

ru kidding? Lyons High School Gym, the Atwood. is the best court around! i miss going to those games in the Atwood

[hoopfan33]

Lyons just remodeled their gym - it looks great - and you are right You Don't Know.

[RCcitymiller]

if they remodeled their gym are they still playing in the community center then?

[RC4lyfe]

ru kidding? Lyons High School Gym, the Atwood. is the best court around! i miss going to those games in the Atwood

I agree. I really liked playing in the lyons hs gym. great atmosphere.

[daillest]

yeah they play in the center now.
idt they use the high school gym for any games anymore unless its a big tournament during the summer.

[thetreeoflife8]

they never use their high school gym! they bank off their state of the art community center with the checker floor. and old school gyms blow.. New gyms are the best to play on.

better to observe the game for bench warmers like yourself, not to play on tho. old school gyms have a great atmosphere and it always seems like the fans are right on top of the floor because of the lesser capacity compared to the new "state of the art" gyms with the checker floor.

Ya i love playing in the old gyms the atmosphere is awesome and when you get a big crowd turn out it is great.

[thetreeoflife8]

I have played there and even bigger and better places as well - It is an old gym - it has been nicely remolded but it is an old gym.

okay you have to be from ER or Gananda because no other school in the last 2 years has been there

[RC4lyfe]

[QUOTE=thetreeoflife8;88022]okay you have to be from ER or Gananda because no other school in the last 2 years has been there[/QU

This site is about opinions - however your opinions can be easily disputed with this thing called fact. Many of the posters on this site are older than high school or even college aged people. Hence the name HOOPFAN33 - I love the game, I enjoy watching it, learning it and sometimes even in my nearly elderly state playing it. I also enjoy reading a variety of peoples opinions on teams and even players. However, I loath people that just hop on and slam people for not good reason (except jealousy) Eli is; a two-time first team all-state player - a first team all AGR player, a league MVP and has seen two state championship banners hung. He was also one of the potential sectional champs in wrestling this year, before he decided to change sports. Quit slamming other people, do some reading and come back when you are informed. There are a few isolated idiots on this site that make it difficult to stomach at times - congrats youare now on this short list.

[ERVC19]

er has hot cheerleaders <3

[thetreeoflife8]

i wudnt say hot.. but they are good, they won sectionals last year

[gvcsjag2000]

Two gyms I got to play or watch games in quite a few times and I thought were good shooters gyms and just very nice all around facilities. Letchworth and Way-Co both have very nice setups and room for a good size crowd.

[hoopfan33]

You would not say anything nice to anything that does not relate to you. Try being positive.

[thetreeoflife8]

how is that not being positive? i said they were good..

[RCcitymiller]

red creek's cheerleaders don't even go to competitions....

[sal iannello]

at least you have some marions program got cut but i guess its ok because they were just a destraction ... and not a good one

[RCcitymiller]

haha it happens

[ERVC19]

i <33 hoopfan 33 :] haha :o

[RCcitymiller]

red creek's cheerleaders don't even go to competitions....

I was wrong. Our cheerleaders actually have a comp this weekend.

[cheERVC]

yeah.......GRI

[CyyniK thebesthaloplayer]

id have to say sodus has good fan support and gannada...williamson has a loud place on certin nights lyons place is nice

[CyyniK thebesthaloplayer]

it was rockin in williamson. despite a 1 point loss. it was a great game

[arc123]

Gananda by far is one of the nicest gyms. very new.

[brownpaperbag]

it was rockin in williamson. despite a 1 point loss. it was a great game

the williamson gym was rockin despite a one point loss
the players were gettin the crowd pumped at the end of the game
that was the loudest ive heard it in a long time
i couldnt hear myself think

If you were a player on the court, you should have been thinking more.. a foul with 3 seconds left? How many games have they choked out?

[hatersRmymotivators]

i think this thread can mean many things. Like some ppl said it can mean how loud a gym is and the fans. To some it can mean where they like to play most. Or how the gym looks. Personally i like playin at GCC just because of the floor. For some reason it feels like i can jump higher. One of the nicer looking gyms i have been in is southerland's gym but i hate the basketball rims there.

[brownpaperbag]

i forget what gym it is but theres a locker room where the handblowers smell awfull

thats r and i know exactly wat u mean
there is also like 9 handblowers in a row

[brownpaperbag]

If you were a player on the court, you should have been thinking more.. a foul with 3 seconds left? How many games have they choked out?

you could tell that the kid slipped and the lyons point guard made a good play by going right into him
it was an honest mistake but at the wrong time and they have choked out plenty of games this season agreed

[coachinbball]

In my day I used to love playing in the old Sodus and Lyons gyms. Lots of people, hot, rowdy and LOUD! Clyde was the same when they came on in the 80's. I haven't seen that in years in any gym, but of course I don't see those games anymore. Most of the gyms are bigger now and it doesn't seem as though people are excited about basketball like they used to be. Maybe it's just because I don't live in a basketball town any longer. And, what happened to the good ole days when there were cheerleaders and spectator buses at the boys away games. WHO IS KILLING THE FUN IN BASKETBALL AND RIVALRIES??
I guess I'm getting old... ; )

[Bomberfan]

Lyons by far. Great Floor and space behind the baskets.
Come on people Even Marion has a good floor.
ER's gym needs to be upgraded.

your not old. there was a time when cheerleaders form both teams attended games and got there student sections going from different sides of the gym. that was fun, kids where loud, parents and fans showed emotion for there teams, good old fun. thank the schools and there so called security for turning gyms into morgues. it is for the kids that are playing and the kids rooting for there teams. As long as they are not vulger let them be as loud as they want. Don't forget we were kids once and boy did we have fun in packed gyms at ER in the 70's. Boy I am old. The smaller the gym the better and louder it was. Those my friend were the day's.

[thetreeoflife8]

idk it just seems to me like all the old gyms are really dark and gloomy which isn't fun to play on.. Gananda has a very bright gym, and so does Lyons community center

I hate when the administration shuts down the cheering...I mean jeering and taunting from the crowd happens in ALL sports..Its a part of it and makes them what they are. As a player i get pumped up when the crowd is loud and rowdy, it doesnt matter what they say just as long as they are yelling...Its quite boring when there is no noise being made in the gym..

[OldSchool78]

Gym from Taxi is my favorite.
