The centerpiece of the Recreation Center Complex, the 2,000-seat Lamade (pronounced Lah-muh-dee) Gymnasium serves as home to the Warriors' basketball, volleyball and wrestling programs. Opened in 1980, the large wooden-floor allows for two full volleyball courts and plenty of additional basketball practice space, while the facility comes complete with locker rooms for each team. Lamade Gym and its close-to-the-action feel gives fans an intimate setting to help create one of the best game-day atmospheres in the region.
Named after George R. Lamade, the publisher of former Williamsport daily newspaper,
GRIT, the building has produced many headline-inducing moments, including serving as the host of seven volleyball conference title teams, 11 wrestling conference title teams, two men's basketball conference title teams and one women's basketball conference title team.
The gym also serves as host to the Budd Whitehill National Duals each winter, as the Warrior wrestling program host a 20-team, two-day tournament on four mats amongst 20 of the finest teams in Division III.
