SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — The best high school basketball players in South Dakota will be honored and take part in all-star games next month at the Sanford Pentagon.
All-star games are scheduled for Friday, April 15 and will feature the top seniors in girls and boys basketball as selected by the South Dakota Basketball Coaches Association. The girls play at 7 p.m., while the boys tip at 8:30 p.m. The 2022 Boys and Girls Player of the Year will be announced at halftime of the games.
“We have had the privilege of watching many of these athletes compete at the Pentagon during their prep careers, and we’re excited to bring them all together for one more opportunity to display their talents on Heritage Court,” said Jesse Smith, vice president of operations for the Sanford Sports Complex. “The level of basketball in South Dakota continues to break new ground, and the athletes competing in these games are responsible for that.”
Rosters will be revealed on April 4. Player of the Year candidates will be highlighted throughout the week of April 10-15.
Tickets will be available at the Sanford Pentagon Box Office. The games will be live-streamed and available for purchase at the Sanford Pentagon portal.
