Four starters from Moline High School's state championship boys' basketball team will participate in the Pepsi Iowa versus Illinois Senior All-Star game next week at Augustana College's Carver Center.
All-staters and University of Iowa signees Brock Harding and Owen Freeman are scheduled to compete along with Jasper Ogburn and Grant Welch.
The Maroons capped a 35-3 season and the school's first state championship with a 59-42 win over Lisle Benet Academy last Saturday in Champaign.
The doubleheader begins at 6 p.m. next Monday with the top senior girls from the Mississippi Athletic Conference squaring off against the best from the Western Big 6 Conference and Western Illinois. The boys game will follow around 7:30 p.m.
A 3-point contest will be held at halftime of the girls game and a dunk contest will take place at intermission of the boys game. Admission is $5.
