The Indiana All-Stars enjoyed another good year both on and off the court.
On the court, the boys swept the Kentucky stars and the girls earned a split. Off the court, we received solid support from our sponsors and fans. With the help of our individual and corporate donors, we enjoyed a comfortable balance sheet financially. We had two of our best crowds ever at the Junior/Senior exhibition games at Kokomo and Washington. When we factor in our crowd at Conseco Fieldhouse, our overall attendance has increased three years in a row.
The All-Star Shootout continues to be the catalyst for the solid footing we now enjoy at the box office. We couldn’t possibly do it without the help of Steve Witty and the IBCA. There were 48 teams participating at Ben Davis on game day. That not only gives the game with Kentucky at Conseco Fieldhouse a boost at the gate, it also provides a great experience for the schools involved.
As we move forward, we can expect some changes in the games -- the majority of them will be very positive. One such change is Dave Slattery (Kentucky’s game director) is working on moving the game in Louisville from Bellarmine to the Yum! Center.
Lastly, and most importantly, we can’t continue to be productive on game day without the quality talent and coaches that Indiana brings to the table every year. This is a direct result of all of the hard work you do with your players.
Thank you!
-- Charlie Hall, Game Director
