The Azalea Orthopedics All-Star High School Basketball Classic is back! This year’s games are scheduled for Saturday, April 20, 2024, at the Wagstaff Gymnasium on the Tyler Junior College campus. Azalea is excited to sponsor the the games for the nineteenth year! The Classic gives East Texas high school seniors the opportunity to showcase their athletic skills and for the public to witness top tier talent in East vs. West showdowns.
Area senior boys and girls are nominated by their high school coaches and are selected by an All-Star selection panel. The teams are geographically divided into Girls East vs. West and Boys East vs. West. Oftentimes, traditional rival players have an opportunity to team up in this contest.
“Azalea Orthopedics is very honored to have the opportunity to showcase the talent, sportsmanship and camaraderie of our East Texas high school senior athletes and their coaches”, states Dr. John Priddy, President of Azalea Orthopedics. “Each year, these games exemplify the tight-knit and supportive East Texas sports community that we’re proud to be part of.”
Doors open at 5:00 PM April 20th. The girl’s game time is slated for 5:30 PM with the boy’s game to follow at approximately 8:00 PM. Between the games, the Northeast Texas Sports Network (NETsn) will host a fun competition among All-Star players. Ticket prices are $6.00 for adults, students are $3.00 or free with a student ID, and free to children 5 and under. Click here to purchase tickets in advance.
