Last week was the annual District Nine senior all-star games, which included boys and girls basketball players from all around the northern region of the Miami Valley. Tomorrow night for the first time ever, there will be two girls Miami Valley Underclass All-Star games set for Urbana High School, with the first game set for 6 p.m. This will be a girls-only event the first year.

Many of the top freshman, sophomore and juniors from around the Dayton area will assemble to display their skills in front of college coaches, and basketball fans from all across the area.

Among the players participating in the event include those from Tecumseh, Tippecanoe and Troy Christian.

In the 6:00 game, the top players from Division 3-4 will meet in the opener. Among those who are playing in the event will be Troy Christian junior Hailey Peters, who averaged over 10 points and nearly 10 rebounds per game for the Eagles and coach Dick Steineman. Peters will be joined on the North team by Mandi Bates (Bradford), Allie Downing (Tri Village), Morgan Haney and Haley Howard (Miami East), Stevie Johnting (Arcanum), Tatum McBride (Newton), Mikalia McIntosh (West Liberty Salem), Courtney Prenger (Minster) and Sammi Whiteman (Covington).

The Division 3-4 South team will also have plenty of solid talent, including Summer Blevins (Marion Pleasant), Ise Bolender (Cedarville), Kelly Bush (Middletown Madison), Alyssa Clements and Tia Karras (Miami Valley), Rachel Murray (Waynesville), Grace Thein and Whitney Will (Fort Recovery) and Danielle Winner (Versailles).

Game two on the evening which begins at 7:30 will for the most part pit the all-stars from Division 1-2, against each other. A few exceptions were made due to logistic reasons that will have a couple of players from the smaller schools having to play in this game.

Among the players in the second game will be local talent Allison Mader, a sophomore from Tippecanoe, along with freshman Presley Griffitts.

Those two will be teaming up on the North team, along with Bryanna Bransford (Stebbins), Nikki Current (Benjamin Logan), Elly Schipfer and Mikala Dodane (Mechanicsburg), Jamari McDavid and Mikala Morris (Kenton Ridge), Hunter Rogan (Urbana) and Lilyana Yoder (West Liberty Salem).

On the South squad will include Macie Huelskamp (Anna), Mya Jackson (Wilmington), Danika Mann (Tri Village), Kami McEldowney (Versailles), Lexi Moore (Beavercreek), Amanda Schroeder (Carroll), Celena Taborn (Sidney), Taj Thompson (Trotwood Madison), Annie Weckesser (CJ) and Emma Wright (Oxford Talawanda).

Admission is $5 for the evening.
