The Indiana All‑Star basketball week returns this June, bringing together the state’s top senior and junior players for a series of games that pit Indiana’s finest against Kentucky’s best.
A rivalry renewed
Now in its 88th iteration, the boys’ series has become a benchmark of high school excellence, while the 51st girls’ edition underscores the growing competitiveness of female high school basketball in the region.
Indiana’s boys hold a 107‑46 edge over Kentucky overall and have won 35 of the last 40 meetings, including a 19‑game home streak that dates back to 1996. The girls’ series, though narrower, shows a near‑even split, with the two states trading sweeps in recent years.
Games will be staged at several sites, including Charlestown, New Palestine, Mt. Vernon, Lexington Catholic High School and the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, with dates ranging from June 1 to June 6.

Admission for the Junior‑Senior doubleheader on Wednesday, June 3 at Mt. Vernon costs $15 per person, while the Senior All‑Stars versus Kentucky on Friday, June 5 at Lexington Catholic High School also carry a $15 fee.
