Kentucky vs Indiana High School All-Stars this weekend

Kentucky High School Basketball All-Stars considered Underdogs

Our kids are heading up to Indianapolis tonight, to do battle in the annual KY vs IN all-stars basketball game. On Sunday, they will battle at Louisville Gardens. Kentucky is being described as "the underdog" having a high loss ratio against the Hoosiers. Coach Tim Davis of Campbellsville High School, and Coach Sally Zimmerman of Shelby County remain optimistic by all accounts.

Tia Gibbs, from Butler, is Kentucky's Miss Basketball and one to watch on the floor. Fans may remember, she collided with another player during the Sweet 16...and suffered a hospitalizing concussion. Nevertheless, the determined competitor was awarded MVP for the tourney. Gibbs, has signed with the Lady Commodores of Vanderbilt.

Gibbs teammates will include Janea Howard of Owensboro and Monique Reed of Fern Creek who have both committed to the Louisville Cards. For a look at the rosters of both teams check out the Lexington Herald Leader Kentucky Sports story.

Darius Miller, Mason County star headed for University of Kentucky, will be leading the Kentucky Boys as the reigning Mr. Kentucky Basketball. Scotty Hopson, a 2008 McDonald's All Star player from Hopkinsville, can also be expected to contribute to the leadership of the Kentucky Team. Hopson, is headed for UT Vol country, to sport "The Big Orange."

The Kentucky vs. Indiana All-Star game is a fundraiser for the Lions Eye Foundation.

It is said that the Indiana All-Stars have a stronger sense of tradition and pride in participating in the All-Star games. It is said Indiana is basketball country. It's time to turn those sayings around, Kentucky is and forever will be the basketball capital of the good ol' USA. Go Kentucky!
