- Venues of Indiana High School basketball. A basketball fanantic's quest to see an Indiana High School basketball game in every one of the state's 92 Counties.
90 of them were taken at a high school, some of the gyms now no longer being used. Vigo County's photo was at Indiana State's Hulman Center at the IHSAA Girls State Finals, Knox County was taken at Vincennes Univ. while hosting a holiday tournament.

Thanks for a great trip down memory lane. Back when I played basketball in Indiana, the big gyms were nice, but the small ones were the most memorable. People packed the gym on game nights, literally hanging from the rafters. They sat so close to the playing floor that you might trip over a fan's foot. One time a player was running so hard he couldn't stop and fell through the door and ended up in the parking lot. Small gyms have character.
I have visited 17 of the gyms you show, plus many others over the years. Still a couple hundred to go! Thanks for the memories and goals!
You should visit the Noblesville gym which is built in 1928. I believe it is in private hands now but you might be able to get in and see the court anyway
I pretty much lived in the old Noblesville gym when it was the Boys’ Club. I used to walk there after school and played in basketball leagues. So many great memories!! My stepdad went to school there long before I was born.
@@mfr440 are you from noblesville? We lived at 1407 Logan Street
@@marktalbott3835 Yes. I lived out in what used to be the country.
@@mfr440 I'm the youngest of five. My oldest brother graduated in 76.
Used to be a sports writer in Muncie...this brought back some memories! Of the 92 counties, I've seen and covered games in 20 of the gyms posted. I miss Hoosier Hysteria!
This is really cool!
Absolutely amazing stuff.
I see me! 5:02 Huntington North waiting for my school to play Semi-State game (Fort Wayne Canterbury) (literally walked to the gym)
Can’t believe I’m watching this again in 2020! But this video is legendary and will never get old. Great job!
Nice, but you are missing one of the Historic ones with several Mr Basketballs and State Title. Kosciusko, Warsaw High School
GasCityGuy - you put some serious time into these videos! Very enjoyable and impressive. Thank you.
These are truly great videos. They need to be played at the museum in New Castle. Please contact them
This is truly beautiful, time consuming work and they need to be seen by thousands of Hoosiers. Even Mike from channel 8 would love to do a story on this
North Vermillion has a different court and oh my God it is amazing
Back again. Well done.
Wow. Amazing amazing stuff.
Wow! You picked Mishawaka! That makes me proud!!!
Played at Benton Central HS in 1985 when I played for Indianapolis George Washington HS- still one of the most amazing gyms that I ever played in. Never forgot experience.
Have they closed Washington? Didn't George McGinnis go to Washington
@@marktalbott3835 George McGinnis did go to Washington, class of 1969. It is still open, and their boys basketball team won their sectional this year.
Did I miss all of the other schools, in Vanderburgh County, other than North? I didn’t see Day School, ECS, Harrison, Memorial, Reitz, Central, Bosse, nor Mater Dei.
Can't cout how many baskets ive made on that white river valley floor....class of 04....❤
I played on that court in LaCrosse,IN
The game at ISU there in Vigo County was between my schools team Northeast Dubois and FW Canterbury. I was there. Too bad we got beat
Love the character of these places. Some are very unique. Anybody into interesting gymnasiums can check out Leo HS on South Side of Chicago. It's a little bandbox gym on the 3rd floor of the bldg and is pretty cool
I'm a sad grad of Jeff in 04 I played in front of 6000 plus people and played in new castle and Marian and Anderson wigwom man I miss those days kids now have no idea
NICE!!! Indiana high school gyms are the best!
This is a crazy video
I have been in probably 15 of them and the school Tri County won sectionals so we are going to Triton to play Gary 21st century charter for regionals. Good luck TC!!!!
Have you ever been to the gym in Noblesville built in 1923? They tore down the high school in the late sixties but they kept the gym and became the boy's club and I lived directly behind it and that's where I learned to play basketball
I was a frequent visitor to the Boys Club, now the Boys’ and Girls’ Club from in the late 1970’s early 80’s. Such a fun place to hang out and play ball after school! My stepfather went to high school in the same building when it was Second Ward, I believe.
@@mfr440 as I said it was literally right behind my house. I was there starting in the 8th or 9th grade playing two and three hours every day. Such a cool gym.
Those are great amazing the # of those I have been in.
Sad to see such sparse crowds in the stands. Back before the IHSAA ram rodded class basketball down people's throats, the great majority of the gymnasiums were sold out. Packed. Now...pick a seat.
Totally hated that move.
@@bluefishblitz9577 I'm a Hoosier by birthright and by degree, and I was teaching in Ohio when they made this move. The AD for the high school I was teaching came to my room during my prep period and was mad as hell. Told me the IHSAA had just voted to go class basketball, and he HATED the move. Told me then it would be the end of Hoosier Hysteria. He was right. And THIS from a Buckeye grad and fan!
I miss the single class tournament as well but it was the smaller schools that were most interested in having a class based tournament not the ISHAA
98% of those schools never made it past regionals and had no hope of making it to the finals
@@marktalbott3835 Yes, but it was the dream . . .
Pretty cool that Seymour has the largest gym in the county
Edgewood? Literally a punching bag for South every year and you put them.
Where is William L Garrett gymnasium home of the Golden Bears seat. 6000 people wake up.
Yeah, where is it? Which county?
Why does every gym have the same exact old scoreboard? Can someone explain? I have always noticed that. Great video!
No south Bend?
Vincennes University? could have gone with any of the 4 high schools but to not picture Adam’s is sad.
in lake county. east chicago central has the 2nd largest gym in the country and you pick crown point . are you serious?
I agree! East Chicago would be a better candidate to represent Lake County.
•CAPTAIN__SIR• new castle is first
I think Blue Castle is 1st!
Purple Castle..... my mistake! 😜
Its gotta be White Castle!!!
For Bartholomew county, you forgot Hauser high as well as Columbus East.
Nice job -
But I need to say, it looks like with a few exceptions (Evansville / Richmond) you picked the smallest schools in each county to show. That's not all bad, but folks should remember this as they are watching this. Indiana has such a reverence for HS basketball that even the smallest schools consider their gyms a shrine for the great events that unfold within them. Since the travesty of single-class in 1998, is is basically impossible to relive the emotion of Friday and Saturday nights in these gyms, but once I am able, I may try to get to EVERY high school gym with a 10mm lens, and document every gym that still plays. It will not be the same as in the heyday, but it will still be better than anywhere else.
Only in Indiana does high school basketball reign supreme.
Daniel McGlaun north is the biggest high school in Evansville dude. I went to the smallest school in Evansville and that’s Evansville Mater Dei 2a school north is a 5a school.
As an avid Indiana high school basketball fan (Highland grad, by the way), I enjoyed this video. I have to agree with Thomas Bork (below) that Crown Point is an odd choice for our Lake County. Crown Point's gym is nice, but quite new, with little character. Personally, I would have selected the Hammond Civic Center, where many Lake County schools played sectional games throughout the years.
Marion, IN. Go Giants !!!
Does everyone in the county go to the same high school?
No these are the biggest gyms in each county
For Dubois county should have picked southridge gym. Way better than jasper
Jasper has a beautiful gym.
....I'm sorry...I wasn't gonna get bent out of shape but for Knox County, you pick our COLLEGE'S gym? Thats just some straight up bullshit.
Yeah I know right he should of done Lincoln or north Knox. The point in high school GYMS.
@@andenwest4871or even Rivet, the oldest gym in the state!
Haven’t watched since they went to class basketball 🥵
Orleans high school 😍
Home of the "Crybabies"
what about Bloomfield high in Greene County??
John Gwaltney They had WRV for Greene County. I was thinking the same thing though haha before I saw WRV
What??? Cuz Bloomfield is a buncha river rats....thats why.
How you pick Morgan township for porter county valpo has the best gym r u serious
Really for Monroe County of all h.s you pick Edgewood? I guess North and South hasn't produced enough IU players for you
Brady Adams indeed, very dumb
They did the same w St. Joe county. Forget the South Bend schools which produce more CBB players than Mishawaka and I don’t think Mishawaka has EVER won a state title. But SB Clay has... i like it but he gets the side eye look for some of his selections
For Kosciusko County, you show Tippecanoe Valley and not Warsaw? That’s pretty stupid...
No Borden and or North Harrison
You pick Lacrosse high school for Laporte County and not Laporte High School pretty fucked up!
5:02 !!!
Union City should of been picked or Winchester, Lynn , Indiana the birthplace of Jim Jones.
Lafayette Jefferson!
jjjefffferssson Jefferson Jefferson Jefferson!!!!!
small schools....
Of all of the gymnasiums in White County, you showed the only one that isn't remarkable in any significant way, other than the fact that it's the smallest!
Not sure your intent on this . Major schools with empty gyms was just a failed attempt at Hoosier basketball!
Twin lakes is the best
