Kentucky All-Stars for Kentucky-Ohio Game

Posted on April 4, 2011 by Jody Demling

Central’s Brianna Averette, Fern Creek’s Teonia McCune and Jeffersontown’s Lenette Holt are three local (Louisville) players that have been selected to the Kentucky roster for the Kentucky-Ohio All-Star game.

The game will be played Saturday at Thomas More.

Among the other top players on the roster are: Eastern Kentucky signee Carla Booth of Sheldon Clark, Bowling Green’s Adrienne Tarrence and West Carter’s Kristin Perry.

The rest of the roster: Jillnell Bevins, Belfry; Brooke Coleman, Shelby Valley; Kelli Dixon, Walton-Verona; Tierra Hamilton, Rowan County; Taylor Hott, Betsy Layne; Leanne Mullins, Menifee County; Prisha Rogers, Clark County; Emily Underwood, East Jessamine; Sydni Wainscott, Simon Kenton.

Congrats to all the girls that made the team. Hope someone will post the results of the game. Good luck to all the girls, especially Prisha Rogers of GRC.

Just curious, but I notice that Lauren Tibbs name is missing from the list?

She might have chose not to play in the game. I'm sure she was invited seeing as it is taking place at Thomas More College which isn't too awfully far from Scott high.

That could very well be, but was looking forward to watching her play. I know next week is spring break for Kenton County Schools.

This is a pay to play event if I am not mistaken.

Lauren was invited to play and decided not to. It is a pay to play event which played a part. She is really focusing on the upcoming tryouts for the Kentucky/Indiana game. Those tryouts are April 15 and 16. Making that team and playing in those games is one of her goals before she leaves for Marquette at the end of June.

The pay to play has really been an issue for the Kentucky side in the past few years. Kentucky has failed to get the elite kids to play in this game and Ohio has, resulting in some pretty good beatings in the series.

It is $225.00 to play. It goes towards the player's uniform and practice gear. Players are encouraged to get sponsors to cover the cost. I understand that many times the school ball coach will pay the fee through the school funds. It is certainly nice to be invited to play, but a little strange the players are asked to pay to play in an all star game.

I hope to give updates at the quarters tonight.

Ky girls lost 63-50. Fern Creek’s Teonia McCune was named MVP for KY and is a Wright State signee. MVP for Ohio, Kavunaa Edwards, Villonova signee.
