Dennis Semrau covers High School sports for ESPN Madison

ICYMI: The WBCA All-Star Games took place in the Wisconsin Dells this weekend. 

When the 41st annual Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Association Senior All-Star Games tip off on Friday Saturday at JustAgame Fieldhouse in Wisconsin Dells, it will give fans one last opportunity to see some of the state’s top basketball talent before they move on to the collegiate level.

The WBCA All-Star games host the top 100 boys and top 100 girls in the graduating senior class. Each division for each gender is broken up for a North vs. South game for one last high school sports memory. The girls’ games will be held on Friday with the boys’ competition set for Saturday beginning at 9 a.m. each day.

Jordan McCabe of Division 2 state champion Kaukauna, who was selected as the state’s Mr. Basketball, will compete for the Division 2 North squad. He will play at West Virginia next season.

Proceeds from the WBCA Senior All-Star Games go to the Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer (MACC Fund). This is a great organization that has directly helped in the funding of cancer research to increase success levels from 10 percent to over 80 percent. Since the start of the WBCA All-Star games, the WBCA has donated over $2.5 million to the MACC Fund.

All players and coaches involved in the event are responsible for fundraising. To donate to any of the players or coaches’ fundraising efforts, go to wisbca.org/allstargame.

RIM ROCKERS TO PERFORM: The world-famous Milwaukee Bucks’ Rim Rockers will perform at around noon on Saturday at the WBCA Boys’ All-Star games. This team of daredevils performs at Bucks’ games, in the community and around the country with their innovative style and highflying trampoline dunking.
