Basketball: You're an All-Star! Get your game on!
I'm ready to watch Nicol Biesek, Maryum Jenkins and Brittany Henderson ball up the Trib girls. Not sure what's been going on the previous years but we've got skillz this year. Yes, that's skillZ with a Z. Trib yuppies, it's time to bring the title back where it belongs, in the West! As for the boys, we know the Star-News tears it up every year. No need to step on the Trib when they're already on the ground. That would just be rude.
The roster for the sixth annual Star-News/Tribune All-Star Game have been finalized. Here are some quick facts about the game:

Eliza is headed to the Mc Donald's All-American game instead.
No Elza Pierre? Was the player of the year not good enough to make the team?
Tiffany Horton is from Rio Hondo Prep, not La Salle. Isn't Tim Esquerra on the team also?
Question, why do basketball all star games occur before football all star games? Give some info on the Hall of Fame game Miguel, including rosters.
so malik speed doesnt make all area, but makes the all star game? hmm
