Team Rosters Announced for Carolinas Classic All-Star Basketball Games
Top high school basketball players from North Carolina and South Carolina to face off
WILMINGTON, NC— The North Carolina Coaches Association and the South Carolina Athletic Coaches Association have announced the team rosters for the 2022 Carolinas Classic All-Star Basketball Games, sponsored by House of Raeford Farms FLOCK, the non-profit arm of House of Raeford Farms.
On Saturday, March 26, the top high school boys and girls from North Carolina and South Carolina will face off during the Carolinas Classic All-Star Basketball Games at John T. Hoggard High School in Wilmington.
“After a two-year hiatus because of public health concerns during the coronavirus pandemic, we are honored to have the best high school basketball student-athletes from our states come to Wilmington and compete at a high level in their respective games,” said Shell Dula and Phil Weaver, executive directors of the South Carolina and North Carolina Coaches’ Associations, respectively. “Due to precautions in place by local elementary schools and the hospital, two of our past outreach locations, we found it necessary to limit our student-athlete activities this year. Although there will not be as much of a hands-on approach, we will expose these young men and women to extraordinary individuals who will illustrate what it means to step out of our own little world, and share ourselves with those in need.”
As the host site for a third year in the Carolina Classic’s 25-year history of all-star selections, Wilmington’s basketball tradition includes former NBA stars Michael Jordan, Sam Jones, and Kenny Gattison; Meadowlark Lemon of the Harlem Globetrotters; and University of Kentucky legendary coach John Calipari among others. The Classic also serves as an excellent springboard for House of Raeford Farms FLOCK in their mission to encourage young people to become productive and positive members of society through active community involvement.
