One Epic Game Where student-athletes Shine
ABOUT THE GAME
The Playmaker TN/KY Middle School All-Star Game brings together 24 girls and 24 boys from across Tennessee and Kentucky—chosen by merit, heart, and hustle—to compete, connect, and take their game to the next level.
This isn’t just a game—it’s a full-on All-Star experience. With DJ’d scrimmages, media day drills, referee-run sessions, and even college-style press setups, players get a taste of the high school and college spotlight before they’ve graduated middle school.
For these rising ballers, the All-Star Game is more than competition—it’s validation, inspiration, and a snapshot of the journey ahead. As Coach Terry Boykin says, it gives them a real look at ‘what it feels like’—and the motivation to work even harder.
