I think what made those great Steveston/Richmond games so good, wasn't just the rivalry, but the 2 gymasiums.
Richmond had steep, permanent bleechers rising right to the top of the gym roof line (the roof was raised at the point where the stands rose) which made you fell like people were on top of you. Couple that with the tight end lines and short court. Steveston's gym was small and had stands on both sides.

What is good to see is that many schools around are revitalizing basketball and the crowds are big.
