Lake County girls all-star rosters released
The names of the girls basketball players who have been selected to participate in the third annual Lake County Senior Shootout have been released.
The high school all-star basketball game will take place at 6 p.m. Friday, April 13 at the College of Lake County in Grayslake.
"We are very pleased with the players we have selected for this game," coordinator Fred Fleming said. "Our staff has worked really hard on selecting these players to participate in this year's game and I must say we are really excited about our selections."
Paul Brettner, coach of Class 3A state runner-up Vernon Hills, will coach the East team. John Stanczykiewicz, who directed Warren to 21 wins and a regional championship this season, will coach the West squad.
"Both coaches did on outstanding job with their programs this year," Fleming said.
The event is sponsored by the American Heart Association/Hoops For Hearts. Portions of the proceeds will be donated to the American Heart Association.
"We want to raise awareness of the disease hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (the No. 1 cause of death to young athletes) by informing the parents/students and school officials, on how serious this disease is and how important it is for student/athletes to get tested," Fleming said.
"We are asking all schools in Lake County to participate in our online fundraiser, as well," Fleming said.
