Here's the gym of the high school I graduated from. It's in the middle of BFE Kentucky, a public school with no private funding.
It only shows one side of the gym, but the other is identical.
I would say it's equal in quality to UTSA's.

Okay, your original claim was that your HS gym wasn't equal, but nicer. It's neither. A one-level basketball gym down the hallway from classes is never better than a stand-alone two-level arena. I'm not here to defend our horrible basketball arena because I never liked it even when I was a student at UTSA way back in the mid-80's, but don't come on here and make stupid claims.

You can start right near Houston with the Cy-Fair ISD Berry Center:
And throw in the Katy ISD Merrell Center, where the Southland Conference Tournament has been held in recent years:
Now we're talking; been to both of those. And Katy's Merrell Center is about a 15-minute drive from my house. Been there for basketball games and for student graduations. It's worth noting though that those don't belong to individual schools, but are shared among the schools in their respective districts, one district being comprised of 11 schools and the other, ten, I believe.

But we're still up 51-19 all-time, if you're counting at home.
