The Alaska Association of Basketball Coaches held its sixth annual Senior All-Star basketball games at Dimond High School on Saturday.

The event started with a Friday night banquet where coaches of the year, players of the year and first-team all-state players were recognized.

Saturday, in addition to the All-Star games, former player Jessica Moore and former coach Rex Rock were inducted into the AABC Hall of Fame. Saturday and Sunday, high school players also had the chance to participate in an “Exposure Camp” to show skills to junior college coaches.

The event was packed with Kenai Peninsula players and coaches, with Nikolaevsk girls coach Bea Klaich, Homer girls coach Chad Felice, Ninilchik boys coach Nick Finley, Nikolaevsk boys coach Steve Klaich and Nikiski boys coach Reid Kornstad all coaching.
