All-Stars director Mike Broughton hopes all of that winning pays off for the squad of seniors in the annual series in June against the Kentucky All-Stars.
“This year, my sixth as director, was the most difficult season to pick the Indiana All-Stars,” Broughton said. “In my discussions with many different coaches throughout the state, there were 20 to 25 candidates in competition for the 13 spots. We had many well-deserving athletes this year across Indiana.”
All-Stars who won a state championship this year are Fishers’ Keenan Garner (Class 4A), Scottsburg’s Jack Miller (3A) and Brownstown Central’s Jack Benter (2A). Ben Davis guard K.J. Windham won a 4A state championship last year and was a runner-up this year. Wapahani’s Isaac Andrews (2A this year), Kokomo’s Flory Bidunga and Karson Rogers (4A last year) and Chesterton’s Tyler Parrish (4A in 2022) also played in state championship games.
This year’s Indiana All-Stars will play the Indiana Junior All-Stars on June 5 at Kokomo, followed by the annual doubleheader against the Kentucky All-Stars. Those games will be played on June 7 in Lexington, Ky. (Lexington Catholic High School) and June 8 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Tickets for the game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse went on sale this week and can be purchased through Ticketmaster or in person from 12-5 p.m. from Monday through Friday at the fieldhouse box office.
In addition to the players listed above, also selected: Westfield guard Trey Buchanan; Franklin guard Micah Davis; Noblesville guard Aaron Fine; Brebeuf Jesuit guard Evan Haywood; and Evansville Memorial forward Tucker Tornatta.
“The Kentucky All-Star team was very good last year as juniors,” Broughton said. “The Indiana All-Stars are going to need to be well prepared, unselfish and play very hard.”
Kokomo’s John Peckinpaugh will coach the Indiana All-Stars. Peckinpaugh will be assisted by Silver Creek’s Brandon Hoffman and Barr-Reeve’s Josh Thompson.
