This is really cool!

0:12 lol

As an elementary student, I got to play some in several of these gyms that were changed to elementary schools in the southeastern part of the state. Thank you for giving this Hoosier turned Sooner a great memory.

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!

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 you do a video of the old high school in Clinton Indiana? Thanks.

Who's cutting onions

Where is William L Garrett gymnasium home of the Golden Bears seat. 6000 people wake up.

Some high schools need to build more classic gym like this instead of plain box gym. Add some brick work and windows. Something to take pride in.

There is Williamsburg High School (a community center now) with its gym included and still intact.

I see me! 5:02 Huntington North waiting for my school to play Semi-State game (Fort Wayne Canterbury) (literally walked to the gym)

Does everyone in the county go to the same high school?

Man I remember this like it was yesterday, I was a junior I grew up with rob, willie all of them boys, let’s hope the panthers pull it out today💪

Medora high school. The picture of that gym is what I remember of the old classic gyms. Almost no seating at the court level with a balcony with seating around three sides of the court and a raised stage at one end of the court. Those kind of gyms gave you a view from above almost like the view you see on television. The close personal atmosphere of that style gym with a vocal crowd was an experience. When the game was hot, that house could really rock!

If Kent doesn't get hurt that game is a wrap.

Nice, but you are missing one of the Historic ones with several Mr Basketballs and State Title. Kosciusko, Warsaw High School

Just another Southern Indiana hick afraid of Lake County .

South Bend Central HS (played Hickory HS in the movie: Hoosiers) is still there but closed. Also, South Bend closed LaSalle and Jackson High and may close either Clay HS or Riley HS soon.

Great video! I have to tell you about the Newby Dome in Mooresville. It was the first gym in Morgan Co. specifically built for basketball. It is over 100 years old and is sill in use today for recreational and Hoops teams.

How about South Bend Central? It's now apartments.

Seeing many of these old gyms makes me wish I could have grown up during various periods from back then and played for those teams.

I wish you had a picture of the interior of that old gym used in Hoosiers.

I went to Murdock Elementary in Lafayette.

I love these old schools and gyms. I grew up in Kansas and played in a lot of cracker boxes and larger fieldhouse style gyms as well. They had so much character and almost a "personality". Most of the new gyms are all exactly the same. 2 tiers of pull-out bleachers on the sides with a balcony walkway behind the goals. Very vanilla, to say the least.

South Bend Central HS. 1907 last used as a school 1967. Now used as apartment building. Was for many years one of the top basketball and football teams in Indiana.

Wow It is wonderful that you made this video. I am from Indiana but now live in Fl I was watching for Center High School near Muncie. It was demolished in around 1967. Would have made a wonderful building for something. this is a sad video and you couldnt have chosen better music. Makes me very proud. thanks

Thnx 4 the memories!!

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

Wasn't Oolitic HS a team that the Hickory Huskers actually played in the film?

You forgot Michigan City Elston and Michigan City Rogers(now MCHS)

My mother’s old high school was torn down. My father’s high school is still standing. My old high school had a fire during my freshman year. The badly burned part of the school was the worst since it was made of wood and brick. Almost the entire school was torn down except for the gym, field house, the locker rooms, and the old band hallway. It was rebuilt from the ground up. I remembered touring the school after the fire in September before it was all torn down. The originally the school was 1 story when it first opened 1917. The school had add ons over the school’s history.

You left out the two high schools that New Castle had before the new high school was opened. Also New Castle played basketball in the old YMCA building before the new Fieldhouse was opened.

What about Marion?

I go to Wayne. They started fighting because someone the the other team started being racist and saying the n word. So yeah…

Still come here, never gets old.

BLM

wanye is better

62 in red is cheap

I like history like this on old schools I wish I could see a video like this on the Wisconsin schools

Have you ever been to Woodrow Wilson junior high in Terre Haute

My dad was on the varsity basketball team and my mom cheerleader at the old Morocco gym 1959. My mom was also a varsity cheerleader at Hayworth high school in Illinois before moving to Indiana at the end of her Sophomore year.

Awesome trip down memory lane! Thanks!

You guys forgot Lew Wallace High School, and quite possibly West Side High School, in Gary,Indiana.

This needs to be updated! One school that did not make list yet is Fort Wayne, Indiana's Elmhurst High School. It was closed after 2010 school year, and just raised back around 2017 time frame.

Where is Fairbanks gym???????

Old school Indiana... John Wooden, Oscar Robertson, Bobby Plump, Robert " slick " Leonard. And somebody named Larry Joe Bird.

No south Bend?

Back again. Well done.

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

Noblesville gym. Still there and in great condition. Built 1925. You been there?
