I have no skin in the game (potato? ) but just wanted to point out that the Region 2 Tourney is at the Betty. I recall playing a District Tourney in a certain venue where the Region Tourney was held and the other District claimed that wasn't fair. Now for the 2nd year in a row Region 2 gets to play where the State B will be held. Any experience isn't bad experience, so it's definitively an advantage.

If Trenton doesn't get the 3 as another undefeated team, we can expect to hear a lot about "East Seeding Bias". After all, GHS still lost to FWM - sick or not.
That doesn't bode well for Grafton, IMO - having to likely face a hot LLM team right out of the gate. I guess we'll see how it plays out.

Well that bias would be from the coaches, since they vote on the seeds.
I've said it before, but I think Kindred, LEM, and Grafton are the 3 best teams.
Last year there were 2 undefeated teams going into the state tournament and they took 6th and 7th.
edit: Trenton got seeded behind LEM and Thompson last year. Both teams had 2 losses.

Perhaps.
The potential advantage depends on how the teams choose to use it. For instance, last year the Thompson girls weren't allowed to go to watch Friday games together as a team. Nor did they have a team meal, teachers had tests scheduled for them in school, etc. This is all before taking on the eventual state champs in the semifinal that night. In fact, those girls didn't get to have much of a state tournament experience at all and were mad the whole tournament for having to deal with "school stuff".
So say what you want, but being close and familiar with the venue doesn't necessarily guarantee an advantage. Especially when the decision makers treat it like just another batch of home games.

Very confused by this one. Kindred is #1 all year, has not lost, last year State Champs and you are going to move Landgon to the 1 seed????

My 2 cents on 2 of these issues I've always had.
First, no region tourney should be played at the State site for Class B Basketball, boys or girls...For those playing districts, no district tourneys should be played at the Region site. Should be enough sites to make this work( Im talking to you R6) and no team should host regions in own gym(R7)...Simple, Done.
Second the pre game jitters should be equal for all....Teams stay at 2 or 3 approved motels near site of the B...beginning Wed night(I'll argue that there should be an event that Wed night for all to make it special, but I want to remain all inclusive so I wont), So if Ryan is playing at Dome, they stay at motel like everyone else for example...Team Breakfast, morning shoot around(At the site of the B), etc are all scheduled accordingly to game times Etc Etc. It's not a regular game day, but a special, memorable day, and if you're nervous and excited you should be...
