Prep Basketball / Senior All-Star Report
MYKLEBUST GYMNASIUM — It’s just a silly all-star game. Fouls weren’t tracked. Points barely were. There was a score but it didn’t matter, not really.
But that doesn’t mean the Lower Columbia Senior All-Star Game is completely devoid of value, of meaning. Not when last chances and lasting memories for the scrapbook were on the line.
White beat Red 74-73 in the girls game opener, then White won again 120-92 in the boys contest to conclude the evening. There were familial bonds to enjoy, both in terms of genetics, zip codes, and shared experiences. There were bitter old rivalries to put to bed and bad tastes to wash out of mouths.
It’s just a silly all-star game, but it’s also more than that.
