All-Star night

The high school all-star basketball games will be played in Houma tonight.

This is a good idea to play the all-star games closer to the season rather than in July. But you still have to wonder about the future of the event in light of how many all-star games are out there.

Forget the McDonald's games and other All-American games. There are also the state vs. state all-star games (Mississippi vs. Alabama, comes to mind).

Hopefully playing closer to the end of the season the event can thrive. And the event should rotate around the state to give different areas an opportunity to host and see the games.
