Our thirteenth annual All-Star game was dedicated to Jenika Zurita, All Star selection from the South Girls High School Team. Being that it was GBA’s first time hosting the Tri-County Senior All-Star game, we wanted to make it special, especially because our former GBA player, Jenika, could not participate because she was recently diagnosed with leukemia. We held a raffle and raised funds for her GoFundMe account. GBA matched the total raised to award the family with more funds to help her fight this battle. The night was a huge success! We began the games with the best eight graders, boys and girls, from the SUHSD. Then, we showcased the all stars from Monterey, San Benito, and Santa Cruz counties. They amazed the crowd, especially during the slam dunk and three point contests. It was a fun filled night for the whole family. We are excited to continue this tradition of hosting the event honoring the top basketball players.
