The show will go on...
The Greater Kansas City Basketball Coaches Association (GKCBCA) DiRenna Boys All-Star Game will be held:
Wednesday, April 16
7:30 pm
Mill Valley High School
5900 Monticello Rd
Shawnee, KS 66226
Admission will be free, but a canned good will be encouraged to help the De Soto Food Pantry.
The three-point contest will be held at halftime, with four players from Missouri and four from Kansas competing in the first round. The top shooter from each state will meet in the final.
The All-Star Game, which originally was scheduled for last Friday, was postponed after a broken backboard occurred during warmups before the boys game at St. Thomas Aquinas.
The All-Star Game and Three-Point Contest will be broadcast live by 810 Varsity.
"Kansas City is such a great community to have schools rise up and be willing to host the All-Star Game during such notice," stated 810 Varsity's Chad Rader. "St. Thomas Aquinas was fantastic in hosting the DiRenna Awards show and the All-Star Games the past two years, and Mill Valley stepped up last Friday to settle everyone's concerns."
"Also a big thanks to (Mill Valley head coach) Kurt Bangle, and Sean Brewer for orchestrating the logistics, especially the three-point contest and food drive."
