Medina High School Named Best Atmosphere For a Basketball Game

With an upper deck and lower deck combined with video boards, the Medina Gym is one of the coolest spots around to check out a game. There is no wonder it is chosen year in and year out to host District and Regional Final games.  The boosters do an amazing job keeping the snack stand packed full of goodies, and plenty of fun at halftime as we all chuck rubber ducks!

I spoke with Medina Girls Basketball coach Karen Kase about what makes the atmosphere so special, “I’m very glad to have been a player in this gym and now a head coach here – I spend a lot of hours here and it truly is an awesome home court and high school environment!  It’s great for teams and fans at our regular season games, and then we all witnessed how packed it can get for girls District/Regional games.  Medina is a fantastic host site. 

Our main gym is one of the best facilities in the state of Ohio.  Coach Hass, our athletic department & booster club have made sure it is top-notch with the court and scoreboards and PA announcer and appearance and even locker room spaces.  We go other places and get stuck in a dingy locker room without doors and without white boards or space to talk, but at Medina it’s a priority to be hospitable and give teams the right space.  The way it looks and feels is just very special, and our student-athletes and families are fortunate to be here on a daily basis.  Opposing schools and first-time visitors are sometimes wowed by how spacious it is or how nice it looks.  We are proud of that! “
