Ceaser and teammate Brea Tackett were named to the Coaches District 13 Div. III team, but played for the Div. I-II team due to the lack of players eligible for the team.

South Point’s Tinesha Taylor also played for the Div. I-II team and scored 9 points. Coal Grove’s Chelsea Delong scored 6 points for the Div. III-IV team.

In the boys’ game, Kochendoerfer was the only local player to participate in the game that is for seniors who were first or second team All-District 13.

The Div. III-IV all-stars led 45-39 at the half and outscored the Div. I-II team 42-39 in the second half.

The girls’ 3-point shooting contest winner was Mikie Strite of Oak Hill and Zach Bobo of Alexander was the boys’ champion. Warren’s Grant Venham was the slam dunk contest winner.
