The boys contest, won by the West team, 70-69, Cros-Lex's Nick Lazurka, Peck's Michael Mann, and CPS's Justin Taylor scored four, three and two points, respectively, for the winners. Peck's Bryan Carrier also played for the West.

Derek Neumayer of Sandusky led all Sanilac players with his 10 points for the East squad. David Bliss of Marlette notched eight points, Donovan Ogboh from Brown City and Sean Hornby of Deckerville each had six, and Brown City's Jon Muxlow tossed in two.

Garnett Kohler, head coach at Peck, directed the West team.

"I had a lot of fun with it,' said Kohler, who was a Co-Coach of the Year in Sanilac County this past season. "I told the kids to just go out and give the fans a show and I think they did a god job of it. This was good for all the seniors to get one last time on the court."

Joe Jones of Marysville led the West with 17 points

In the girls game, the West scored 46 points in the second half, led by Almont's Chanahl Putnam, to go on to a 61-39 victory. While Putnam scored all of her 12 points in the second half, Sandusky's Cassy VanConant tallied five points and Brown City's Krislene Dye had two. Taylor Prior of Armada led the West in scoring with 13 points.

Playing for the East, Kelsey Hall of Marlette was one of the leading scorers with six points. Kendra Smith, also from Marlette, netted five points. Erin Lamb of CrosLex also played for the East. Ashley Allison of Cardinal Mooney had a team-high nine points.
