All Star Game

Found a link, but not anything about lineups on it, just the vague "Top 30 Norcal and SoCal HS Boys and girls"

Apparently there are several games, probably four. Underclass and Senior boys and girls.
Seems to me the CIF wouldn't take too kindly to a postseason underclass all-star game.

Found the rosters through the events Facebook page. Looks like the underclass game is in June.
Art Thoms is coaching the girls. I didn't recognize many of the names on the roster
Weird that they would have it the morning after the state championships
This event has been promoted for the last couple months. Anyone could nominate players online with the caveat that they must have been first team all-league performers. A committee was supposed to have the vetted the nominations and made the selections. The legitimacy of this event was tied to it being held at Oracle and it's affiliation with the 49er's Cal-Hi Sports TV show who were going to showcase the game on their YouTube channel. There was a banquet held in Oakland, right down the street from Oracle, on Saturday night in which all the players, families and coaches attended. It was MC'd by Rob Braunstein from 49er's Cal-Hi Sports. It has come out that there was an email from the Warriors PRIOR to this banquet to the promoters (Hilltoppers Academy) letting them know that the game was cancelled. This information was NOT communicated to players or families until the girls players were sitting in the team shuttle waiting to leave the hotel yesterday morning for the game.
How does anyone in good conscience allow kids to go through all of this knowing that the game was cancelled? Shame on you Coach Shaw and the Hilltoppers Academy for not notifying everyone IMMEDIATELY. I hope the Warriors make this right as someone in their organization definitely dropped the ball. KTVU news reported that the Warriors claim the arena's mgmt. company AEG was not properly involved. If that's the case than how was the event still being advertised on the giant Oracle electronic billboard at 10:00 AM yesterday!

quote of the year: they're already planning for a tournament in June- and don't want today's cancellation to undermine anyone's confidence and give players and their families reason to doubt that event will go as planned.
