Area High school basketball players are prepping for the Triad Allstar Classic game on March 19th at Forsyth Country Day School In Winston-Salem, NC from 12-7 pm. A day pass for the event is $15.
Lexington Senior High School boy’s basketball team will have Matthew Liles and Javien Hogan-Reid participating in the unsigned seniors game. The unsigned Triad Allstar game is to help high school players that have not been signed to get an opportunity to play in front of college coaches. That game will be played at 2:15pm. Liles will also be competing in the dunk contest that will start at 4:30 pm. Lexington’s girl’s basketball player Aquaria McIntosh will be playing in the Triad Classic Allstar game.
The Allstar game was created by Kishon Bishop in 2012 to give high school basketball players in the western part of the state an opportunity to play in an Allstar game. Most of the allstar games were played in Wilmington or Myrtle Beach.
Bishop saw an opportunity to have an allstar classic game in the area. Teams are divided east and west of Highway 52. There’s a girls and boys allstar basketball game, an unsigned seniors basketball game, skills challenge, 3 point contest and a dunk contest.
Other notable players that will be competing in Triad Allstar unsigned game will be North Davidson’s boys’ basketball team member Life Yim and North Davidson’s girl’s standout Emily Hege. Hege has already committed to play basketball at Wingate University.
