There are many high school gyms in the area that are way better than the JAR.


Really, besides Barberton I can't think of any.  I suppose you will have to define "way better."


Barberton is tiny for their school size and ungodly sterile (it's mostly grey, with some purple trim), from what I recall from regionals in HS.

The only thing that made it seem cool back then was they had a hanging scoreboard and hoops that actually were freestanding.

Very few high school courts have the big-time feel Barberton's has.

The University of Miami's campus feels more like a resort than a school. It's ridiculous.

The B-town gym is just small.  If you want bigger, see Wadsworth's soon to be old gym.  Two levels on both side and hanging scoreboard.  Too bad it is going to meet the wrecking ball in late May/early June.
