The elation and heartbreak of the high school basketball season has reached its conclusion for the boys and girls of the area. It’s now time for the stars to shine bright one final time.
And shine they will at the Star Beacon-Ed Batanian Senior All-Star Classics at Lakeside Gymnasium on Tuesday.
The girls will tip off at 6 p.m., with the boys following 20 minutes after the conclusion. Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for senior citizens and students. No passes will be accepted.
Each game will consist of two 20-minute halves and will feature a 3-point contest at halftime, with the winner receiving a special award. Players will be allowed six fouls in the games.

John and Paul’s Carly Penna, Lakeside’s Dianna Moore, Riverside’s Lauren Bell and Kelly Kohr, Perry’s Kaley Kahoun and Cecilia Siegel, Grand Valley’s Dakota Kunka and Pymatuning Valley’s Olivia Holt.

One player from each team in the girls and boys games will be chosen a Player of the Game as selected by the Star Beacon sports staff.

Raffle tickets will be sold at one ticket for $1, three tickets for $2 and an arm’s length of tickets for $5. Drawing for the love seat will be made at halftime of the boys game.

Mighty Mitch!
Mitchel Hokavar has been a key component of the Perry Pirates football team for two seasons already. If his performance in Game 1 of the 2010 season is any indication, he’s doing a fine job of playing a game of Can You Top This? with himself.
