North Adams High School will be the place to be on Saturday, March 28 as the annual C103 Senior All Star Game comes to Seaman. The annual event is one final showcase for the senior girls and boys basketball players, plus the cheerleaders from the 10 schools of the Southern Hills Athletic Conference. The doors open at 5 p.m. with the first game (girls) tipping off at 6 p.m.
There will be basketball played but there are a lot of other activities that will make up the big night. For the players there will be the Hot Shot Contest and the always interesting Slam Dunk Contest. For the fans, there will be an auction of signed basketballs from the senior boys and girls and a signed megaphone from the cheerleaders. Also, the North Adams Athletic Boosters will be serving up their normal selection of great delicacies and split-the-pot tickets will be available.
Through it all though, the most important part of the night comes at halftime of the boys game when C103 presents $1,000 scholarship to several of the student-athletes from the SHAC schools.
