61 Seniors Selected to Participate in Three Games at the Hall of Fame
Springfield, Mass. – The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame announced today the team rosters for the 2020 Western Massachusetts Senior High School All-Star Games. The 2020 All-Star event will be held on Thursday, March 19 on the Jerry Colangelo Court of Dreams at the Hall of Fame. A total of 61 players were selected from different divisions within the region to participate in three games that will showcase the top seniors in their final high school contest.
“The Western Mass All-Star game is an annual tradition of great pride for the Basketball Hall of Fame. Located in the Birthplace of Basketball, we are pleased to recognize dozens of talented players who have excelled throughout their high school careers in Western Mass,” said John L. Doleva, President and CEO of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. “We invite the local community to come out and support these outstanding student-athletes.”
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 divided into six teams: two girls teams, two boys teams of Division III and IV players and two boys teams of Division I and II players. Only graduating seniors are eligible for the All-Star Games. Rosters can be found on the next page.
For the 10th year, the Naismith Memorial 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 achievements on the court, in addition to their sportsmanship and character off the court.
The three All-Star Games will be held on Thursday, March 19. The first game of the evening will feature the Division III and IV boys’ teams at 5:30 p.m., followed by the girls’ matchup at 7 p.m. The final game of the evening will showcase the Division I and II boys’ teams at 8:30 p.m.
Tickets for the All-Star games will be available at the Hall of Fame box office the night of the event and will be good for all three games that evening (Adults: $10, Students: $5).
