The "White" team dominated the top 30 all-star game with a 148-110 victory over the "Heather" team.  The winning team was led by MVP 6-2 Sr. Tristan Hicks (Brown High School Louisville KY) who tallied 25 points many coming on crowd pleasing dunks.  6-9 Sr. Curtis Washington (Elizabethtown High School Elizabethtown KY) added 24 points and 5-11 Sr. Wayne Simon (St. Joseph's High School Westchester IL) chipped in with 23 points. 6-6 Sr. Phil Barner (Mason County High School Maysville KY) was named Runner-up MVP for the "Heather" team and led a balanced attack with 16 points.  The "Heather" team was a bit shorthanded tonight as Colt Barnhill and 6- Jr. Dylan Basham (North Hopkins High School Madisonville KY) were unable to play tonight due to injuries.

The "Heather" team defeated the "White" team 112-103 in the second 30 All-Star game.  The "Heather" team was led by game MVP 6-4 Jr. Robbie Barber (Scott County High School Georgetown KY).  The "White"  team was led by Runner-up MVP 6-4 Sr. Brandon Ritchie (DeSales High School Louisville KY).
