The best senior basketball players from around Southwest Washington and Northwest Oregon will be descending upon Myklebust Gymnasium on Tuesday evening for one last run to cap their stellar high school careers.

Schools represented from inside The Blast Zone include Kelso, R.A. Long, Kalama, Castle Rock, Toledo, Toutle Lake, Wahkiakum, Ilwaco and Rainier. And school from just outside BZM proper include Adna, Napavine, Pe Ell, Ridgefield, King’s Way, Fort Vancouver and Columbia River.

The nature of all showcase events dictates that an asterisk must be attached to all pregame rosters, but this season’s matchups are lining up for some interesting storylines.

On the girls’ side, the pregame roster provided to the media includes just six players from outside the local area, and they’ll be plenty familiar to serious basketball fans who’ve been following along all season. Just how those former teammates and league foes will be paired up remains to be seen.

And on the boy’s side there’s a 2A Greater St. Helens League rematch brewing. Four senior R.A. Long Lumberjacks are listed on Team White and they’ll get to run it back one more time against a Team White side that includes three Columbia River Rapids and one Ridgefield Spudder.

And, of course, the Lower Columbia showcase is always a great place for small town stars to put their talents on display — and to see where their game stacks up against the best of the best.

The girls will get the action started at Myklebust Gymnasium with tipoff set for 6 p.m. The boys game will follow, with the jump ball slated for 7:30 p.m.

Admission to the games is $10 for adults, and $7 for students, seniors or military/veterans. The event is a fundraiser for the LCC men’s and women’s basketball programs.
