SI's gym still exists but the old school building I attended has been replaced by an activities center for the university. The gym was the most modern of our buildings and the cafeteria might have been built by Etruscans. Unbelievably bad food in a dank setting. Most of the city gyms in the playgrounds (Sunset, Glen Park etc) had the old and small wooden backboards but we had glass. Pull out bleachers and a small stage but good lighting and lively floor. No AAA games were played there and most of our games at Kezar. Same with football, Kezar was our home field. Lincoln, Washington, Balboa and Galileo had their own fields and we usually got into a fight at Bal. Kezar was a mud bowl from October on. Two AAA games a week, CCSF on Friday night and the Niners on Sundays. By November there was not a blade of grass between the twenties. Great city then and good athletics across the board but now the AAA is terrible.
