MOLINE, IL – MARCH 18, 2022 – Mediacom Communications will provide live television and streaming coverage to spotlight the area’s top senior girls’ and boys’ basketball players as they compete in the 2022 Pepsi Iowa-Illinois Senior All-Star Games.

The All-star Games take place at Augustana’s Carver Center on Monday evening, March 21, starting at 6:00 pm. The return to live-action competition follows a two-year pause during the pandemic

For both girls and boys, the All-Star games will feature 12-player rosters made up of all-conference seniors from MAC conference schools in Iowa and Western Big 6 conference schools in Illinois. A three-point shooting contest will be held during the halftime break of the girl’s game, and a slam dunk contest will take place during the boy’s game halftime.

Event organizers describe the All-Star Games as the “last blast” for local senior student-athletes and high school basketball fans.
