The first of a variety of statewide all star events is slated to take place tomorrow in Hammond. Indiana Basketball News is sponsoring its first annual all star games at the Purdue University Calumet Athletics Center beginning at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 10.

The girls’ game will have a definite Northwest Indiana flavor to it, with 11 of the 20 girls participants from schools in Lake and Porter Counties. The player lineup for the girls’ event is as follows:
