        The Junior-Senior exhibition game is set for June 4 at Greenfield-Central High School. The first game against Kentucky will be June 6 at Lexington Catholic High School. The final game against Kentucky will be June 7 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
      All three dates will be doubleheaders with the IndyStar Indiana Boys’ All-Stars, whose roster will be announced later. The roster for the Indiana girls’ Junior All-Stars were announced March 9. The roster for the Indiana boys’ Junior All-Stars will be announced later.

     The Indiana All-Stars program was founded in 1939 when the Indiana Boys All-Stars played the state champion Frankfort Hot Dogs. The series with Kentucky began in 1940, and the girls’ portion of the All-Stars was added in 1976. The Junior All-Stars, boys and girls, were added in 1996. The All-Star senior girls have played Kentucky every year since 1976, except 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The All-Star senior boys have played Kentucky in all but three years since 1940 — 1943 (World War II), 1944 (World War II) and 2020 (COVID-19 pandemic).
      The Indiana Senior girls lead 55-41 in their series with Kentucky. The Indiana Senior girls lead 41-12 in games against the Indiana Junior girls. The Indiana Junior girls lead 12-1 in their series with Kentucky. The Indiana Senior boys lead 105-46 in their series with Kentucky. The Indiana Senior boys lead 42-11 in games against the Indiana Junior boys. The Indiana Junior boys lead 8-5 in their series with Kentucky.
          The third annual IndyStar Indiana All-Star “Futures Games” doubleheader will be June 2 at Fishers High School. The Futures Games will be a girls-boys doubleheader with Indiana-only squads of sophomores and freshmen in a North vs. South format. The Futures Games girls’ rosters were announced March 13. The Futures Games boys’ lineups will be announced later. The South boys lead the North 2-0. The North and South girls’ teams each is 1-1.
        The Indiana portion of the All-Star Games is organized and produced by the Indiana Basketball Coaches Association. The Indianapolis Star, with its IndyStar brand, is a title sponsor. Hoosier Shooting Academy is a presenting partner of All-Star Week, and Energy Systems Group is a presented partner of the June 8 All-Star doubleheader at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
          The IndyStar Indiana All-Star Team is selected through a balloting process of coaches and media overseen by game organizers from the IBCA. The top vote getter will be named Miss Basketball, and the remainder of the team is finalized by Broughton after observing numerous games and events throughout the season, conferring with coaches, school officials and media across the state. Broughton also reviews votes submitted by coaches and media who each could recommend up to 10 players.
