Players and Coaches For the 2023 Wyoming Coaches Foundation North-South All-Star Games Announced
The annual “Wyoming Coaches Foundation North-South All-Star Games” will be July 22, 2023, in Casper.
=============UPDATED ON MONDAY, JULY 17, 2023======================
The participants in this year’s event were revealed in a press release on Thursday.
The games are at Casper College. The volleyball match starts at 1 p.m., followed by the girls’ basketball at approximately 3 p.m. and the boys’ basketball at approximately 5 p.m.
These games will come at the end of the Wyoming Coaches Association’s annual Coaching Clinic, Hall of Fame Banquet, and All-Star week. This all-star week was created to recognize the best seniors in their individual sport and allow them to compete in a highly honored event. Players were chosen by a committee of high school coaches that selected the top ten players from the northern half of the state to face off against the top ten players from the southern half. It’s an event for graduated seniors only.
Another component of this year’s all-star activities is the Union Wireless Community Awareness Event. On Thursday, July 20, each all-star team will visit Make-A-Wish, Special Olympics, and/or the Boys and Girls Clubs of Casper to meet, interact, and share some pizza with members of those groups.
The coaches and athletes report Wednesday, July 19 to prepare for the games.
