37th Annual Boys' Orange County All-Star
Game Tomorrow Night--(April 19, 2002)

The 37th annual boys' Orange County All Star Game and 25th annual girls' Orange County All-Star basketball games will be played on Saturday at Orange Coast College. The girls' game begins at 5 p.m., the boys' game at 8. Tickets are $10 for adults and $6 for students under 18. We've had some difficulty getting rosters for this event, but one of our friends, an assistant coach at Santa Margarita who shall go nameless (to protect the innocent), sent us a roster which apparently was obtained from the promoters-organizers of the event, and it looks like the boys' game is set to feature some well-known players. Here's the roster.

Unfortunately, we probably won't be able to make it down to OC for the festivities, due to traffice and a commitment to attend the games at LACC for the Rockfish Spring League playoffs, but this is usually a well-attended and fun event, and this year will be no different. If you want to get one last look at some of these players in their high school jerseys before they head off to college, be sure to check out the game.
