All Star Reminder

[Rebel Yeller]

Well SETX basketball fans the season will come to a close soon enough either through teams being eliminated or by hopefully several area teams coming home with hardware from Austin. Well that won't be the last that you can see of your favorite senior roundballers before they graduate.

The Evadale Catfish Festival will be hold 6 All Star games in Mid May to showcase talented young men and young women from all across the SETX area.

May 12th will be two games featuring 4A and 5A seniors. 6:00 PM girls and 7:30 guys
May 13th 2A and 3A seniors at the same times 6 and 7:30 PM
May 14th will be the 1A games with the girls at 2:30 and the guys at 4 PM

The Catfish Festival will be sending out nomination forms to area coaches in a couple of weeks and once the nomination deadline passes then the nominees will be contacted to see if they are interested in playing in the game. It is the hope of the festival to be able to announce the rosters for the teams at the end of April. Players will be in their school uniforms one last time and they will play with or face off against players they have been playing against since they were in Little Dribblers.

The Catfish Festival would like to invite everyone to come out and see the All Star games and to enjoy the festival. The tickets to the game will be $5 for adults and $3 for children 12 and under. The proceeds from the game will go towards the Gilbert & Betty Richardson, King & Queen Scholarship Fund. In the past three years the fund has presented $5500 in scholarships to seniors graduating from Evadale.

The dates of the game are the same as the festival, May 12-14 and everyone will have a great time as the games and the festival are all on the Evadale ISD campus on FM 105.
