The 2017 SHUKC All Star Game will be played at Basehor-Linwood High School on Thursday, April 13, starting at 5:45 p.m.
The event features senior basketball players from Wyandotte County’s two high school leagues, the Kansas City – Atchison League (KCAL) and Kaw Valley League (KVL). Tickets are $5 at the door, and children 9 and under are free. More information is available at http://www.shukc.com.
“It is an opportunity to spotlight the kids in our community,” David Brox, SHUKC founder, said. “I started SHUKC because the Star or news stations didn’t cover KCK and the surrounding area. I wanted the community to have an event that is theirs.”
