Niece selected for basketball exhibition game against Ky. All Stars

 

Simon Kenton sophomore guard Ally Niece has accepted an invitation to play in a girls’ basketball exhibition game against the Kentucky All Stars at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 9th at Elizabethtown High School.

 

The Kentucky All Stars scheduled the exhibition game against some of the top underclassmen from around the state to prepare for its annual two-game summer series against the Indiana All Stars.

 

Niece was asked to play in the exhibition because she was named 8th Region Player of the Year and Northern Kentucky Division I Player of the Year last season. She averaged 20.9 points and 5.8 rebounds per game and shot 48 percent from the field for Simon Kenton.

 

The Kentucky-Indiana All Star Series will be played June 11 at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis and June 12 at Bellarmine University in Louisville.

 

Dejah McClendon of Holy Cross is on the Kentucky All Stars girls’ roster. Ben Weyer of Newport Central Catholic and Matt Wilson of Campbell County will play for the   Kentucky All Stars boys’ team

Congratulations!

That's awfully cool. Niece will be a treat for much of NKY to watch over the next two years. Hoping she has a healthy and successful experience.

That's awesome!
