Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Saturday, February 16, 2008

One of my favorite parts of the Final Four weekend has been the high school all-star game. It's a rare chance to next year's freshmen strut their stuff and college fans to dream of next year.

The WBCA has announced today the nation's top 20 girls' basketball players selected to participate in the 17th annual WBCA High School All-America Game. The college-style regulation game is scheduled for Saturday, April 5, at the University of South Florida's Sun Dome in Tampa Bay. Tip-off at 4:30 p.mET.

Colleges (scheduled to be) represented:
Florida State
Tennessee (x4)
Connecticut (x2)
Rutgers (x4)
LSU
Texas
Kansas
Oklahoma
Miami
Maryland
Stanford
Duke
North Carolina
Notes the press release:
The Nike Co-Captains are the WNBA Minnesota Lynx's Lindsey Harding and Indiana Fever's Tamika Catchings. Harding and Catchings will be available for an autograph session at 4:00 p.m. (ET) at the Sun Dome. The WBCA High School All-American Team will be available for autographs following the game.

Reserved seats are available for $15 and can be purchased by calling 813-287-8844 or by visiting wbca.org or ticketmaster.com.
Now, if only someone would step up and sponsor the college senior game.
