Announcement – Indiana Junior All-Stars

There are many great traditions across Indiana High School Basketball. Unfortunately, some of them are fading over time, but one that still carries a great deal of weight to teams, players, coaches, and communities across the state is the Indiana versus Kentucky All-Star series. Each summer the two states come together for a home-and-home series featuring the best Seniors in their respective states. Here in the Hoosier state, in order to prepare the Senior All-Stars, we also name a Junior All-Star team. This group is made up of six "Core" individuals along with a "Red" group which will join the "Core" for a game at Charlestown High School against the Kentucky Junior All-Stars and a "Blue" which will play with the "Core" at Mt. Vernon (Fortville) High School against the Indiana Senior All-Stars. There is also the newly founded Indiana Futures All-Star Game which features 24 of the best freshmen and sophomores in the state. Here are the 18 players that were named to this year's Indiana Junior All-Star team.   ***Note of full disclosure...I, Brandon Ramsey, am the Chairman of the committee that selected the Indiana Junior All-Star team. I also provide input on the Futures Game selections.***   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Core Team</h2>   [player_tooltip player_id='2267048' first='Harper' last='Baker-Lands'] (Plainfield H.S.)
