60 seniors selected to participate in three games at the Hall of Fame
SPRINGFIELD, MA – The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame announced today the team rosters for the 2015 Western Massachusetts Senior High School All-Star Games. The 2015 All-Star event will be held on Friday, March 20 on the Jerry Colangelo Court of Dreams at the Hall of Fame. A total of 60 players were selected from different divisions within the region to participate in three games that will showcase the top seniors for their final time.
“The Basketball Hall of Fame is honored to host the finest players in Western Massachusetts as they conclude their high school careers,” said John L. Doleva, President and CEO of the Basketball Hall of Fame. “Each year, the Western Massachusetts Senior All-Star Games are an opportunity for us to recognize the basketball talent that continues to come from our region, the birthplace of basketball. It is a truly special event.”
A committee made up of local coaches and media members that represent each division on the boys and girls side selected the teams. The players will be broken down into six teams: Two girls teams, two boys teams of Division II, III and IV players and two boys teams of Division I players. Only graduating seniors are eligible for the All-Star games. The first game at 5:30 p.m. will be the two Division II, III and IV boys teams, the second game at 7 p.m. will be the girls matchup and the final game of the evening will be the boys Division I teams at 8:30 p.m.
For the fifth year, the Basketball Hall of Fame will recognize one boy and one girl as the Western Massachusetts Players of the Year. A special presentation will be made to the recipients during halftime. A panel of local media members selects the award winners, who are recognized for their achievement on the court, in addition to their sportsmanship and character off the court.
Tickets for the All-Star game will be available at the Hall of Fame box office the night of the games and will be good for all three games that evening. MetroPCS is a supporting sponsor of the 2015 All-Star Games.
