In 2020, Outside the Huddle is profiling which 10 area basketball gyms it feels are the best around as we spend some time this off-season looking at unique aspects of these facilities.

Each facility is rated on four factors – game night atmosphere, design, amenities and team success, as well as testimonials from the home team, the opposition and Bounce himself.

NOTE: While success does play a factor in these rankings, it certainly isn’t the biggest factor. That seemed to be a sticking point in the football field countdown from our readers.

No. 1 – The Castle at Norwell

No. 2 – Westview High School

No. 3 – Charger Fieldhouse at Carroll High School

No. 4 – North Arena / Bob Straight Court at Huntington North

No. 5 – The Cougar Den at Central Noble

No. 6 – The Stardome at South Adams

No. 7 – Kilmer Court at Snider High School

No. 8 – The Teepee at Bellmont High School

No. 9 – Paul Bateman Gymnasium at Garrett

No. 10 – Concordia Lutheran High School
