Wildcats named to all-star game rosters
Selections for the 19th Idaho Statewide High School All-Star Basketball Games, presented by Idaho Central Credit Union, were announced Monday.
This year’s all-star games will take place March 12 at North Idaho College’s Christianson Gymnasium. The seniors only event will feature players from the Boise metropolitan area squaring off against players from the rest of the state in a Region vs. Metro format.
The competition begins with the girls game at 1 p.m., followed by the boys game at 3:30. The event will include a 3-point shooting contest with the girls competing against the boys, and a slam dunk contest at 3.
Admission to the game is $10 for adults and $5 for students and senior citizens.
The event returns to NIC for the first time since 2019. Last year’s games were moved to Post Falls High due to COVID-19 concerns at NIC, and the 2020 event was canceled due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
The entire event will be broadcast on IdahoSports.com.
The All-Star Game participants were selected by a panel of media members throughout the state.
