Lima News sports editor Paul Day and Joe Halberstein clash over whether Central’s small Lima floor affects Middletown and Hamilton games. Halberstein cites 1944–46 scores to argue the venue never hampered the Blue or Middies, while noting floating dates and disputed tallies. The debate hints at tactics adapting to smaller courts and previews a January 29 finish.
