The Azalea Orthopedics All-Stars High School Basketball Classic is back! This year’s games are slated for Saturday, April 25, 2026, at the Tyler Junior College’s Wagstaff Gymnasium. Azalea Orthopedics is proud to have hosted these games for many years. This Classic gives high school seniors in East Texas the opportunity to showcase their talent for college coaches and hometown fans. “As orthopedic surgeons, we understand the importance of athletic competition while prioritizing the well-being of our young athletes” says Dr. Justin Bartley, Sports Medicine Surgeon at Azalea Orthopedics. He continues, “This basketball game is an exciting event to showcase the hard work, skill, and dedication of these athletes and also allows Azalea Orthopedics the opportunity to show public support of our local athletes. I am proud to provide coverage for the event and excited to witness their talent and dedication firsthand.”
Area seniors are nominated by their high school coaches and are chosen by an All-Star selection panel. This panel is presented with top-tier athletes, all who deserve to have a place on our boys and girls teams. This year, each team roster will consist of 12 outstanding players, totaling 24 female and 24 male players. Teams are divided into West players vs. East players.
Doors open at 5:00 p.m. April 25th. The girl’s game time is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. with the boy’s game to follow at approximately 7:00 p.m. Ticket prices are $6.00 for adults, students are $3.00 or free with a student ID, and free to children 5 and under.
