All-star showcase at BHS
Berkeley High will be the site of the Seventh Annual Academic & Athletic Showcase on Saturday night, featuring the best senior basketball players from around the Bay Area.
The girls’ game will tip off at 6 p.m., followed by the boys’ game at 8. There will be a slam dunk contest and three-point competition between the games.
The Showcase is unique in that every player must have at least a 2.8 grade-point average, or be NCAA qualified (2.5 GPA and 820 SAT score), to participate. Among the girls committed to play are Berkeley’s Robin Roberson, Alhambra’s Jessica Jones and Amador star Mia Fisher.
On the boys’ side, De La Salle’s Joe See, Bakari Altheimer of St. Elizabeth and Pittsburg’s Trimaine Davis will take part.
Admission to the event will be $5 at the door.
