Thirty seniors from Ashtabula County high schools will play one last time today in the Ashtabula County Basketball Foundation Boys Senior All-Star Game at the new Falcon Gym in Jefferson.
The game will be played at 6 p.m. in two 20-minute halves. Fifteen boys will comprise the Gray team, coached by ACBF Hall of Famer Bob Hitchcock, a standout player and coach at Pymatuning Valley, while 15 players will make up the Red squad, coached by long-time referee, coach and retired Ashtabula High School athletic director Adam Holman.
Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for senior citizens and students. No passes will be honored as the game is a fundraiser for the ACBF.
Because of the number of seniors available in county schools, no more than three players from any school can be on a team. Thus, players from certain schools may have players on both teams.
Leading the Gray team will be three players from Conneaut. They are Andrew Bunnell, Jared Moisio and Jeremy Myers.
Three players from Jefferson will also be on that team. They are Kyle Hass, Adam Mehalic and Matt Moyer.
SS. John and Paul will also provide three players for the Gray team. They are Alex Iarocci, Leo Orlando and Bryan Strawbridge.
Two Edgewood players will be on the Gray team. They are Sean Butler and Willy Morgan.
Geneva will also have two players on the Gray team. They are Tyler Erb and Jimmy Haines.
PV will have two seniors on the Gray squad, Mitch Berrier and Travis Kume.
Rounding out the Gray squad will be Tommy Jusko.
Leading the Red team are three seniors from Lakeside. They are Rashaad Bell, Billy Downs and Emilio Parks.
Geneva will also have three players on the Red team. They are Joey Streets, Adam Sturkie and Chris Ward.
Three Grand Valley seniors will be on the Red team. They are Trenton Doing, Robby Slusher and Cory Weyer.
Conneaut will provide two players for the Red. They are Shon Cline and Steven Joslin.
Two seniors from Edgewood will be on the Red team. They are Derrick Coy and Brian Joslin.
Completing the Red roster are Jefferson’s J.D. Drews and Jake Hommes.
A Player of the Game from each team will be chosen.
