BCC girls basketball program have asked the high school basketball committee to hopefully change sites for their upcoming game this week. BCC is the overall 1 seed for the entire state and plays 5 seed North Point at North Point high school. In my opinion they have a valid point to ask for a different site. Nothing like traveling to a lower seed home court during rush hour which will take about 2 hours.

Nuetral Sites are set the summer before - I highly doubt MPSSAA will change it

The state semifinal games are played at "pre-determined" sites, not neutral sites. It is definitely a shame that B-CC has to play at North Point (despite BCC being the #1 seed). Unfortunately, the state pre-selected sites with large gyms around the state, and North Point is one of those sites.
It would be difficult for North Point to play at another site while also hosting a game between two other schools, from an event management standpoint.
In my opinion, the bigger issue is not that the #5 seed gets a home game vs. the #1 seed, but that it is also coupled with the fact that it is a very long drive for the #1 team and its families, fans and community.
