St Pat’s had a short court with a raised stage on one end behind the basketball and doors leading to stairs after the other basket, players would jump up on the stage for layups sometimes jumping down quickly and on the other end, players would fly through the doors and run back into the gym through the doors. St John the Baptist also had a stage in their gym. Many of the schools back then had cafegymatoriums to save money on facilities. A cafeteria, a gym and and auditorium all in one. :) Assumption’s gym was located up a long set of stairs too. St Anthony’s had a balcony if I recall above the gym floor, the only way there was room for spectators. Rosary didn’t have a gym from 1947 when a fire destroyed the old gym till 1960 or 1961 playing in opponents or local elementary school gyms until they built a new gym.

Yes Tom, Assumption had a tile floor but the long high skinny scary stairwell to get up to the gym is what I remember the most.
