OWENSBORO, Ky. (WEHT) – The Kentucky vs. Indiana All-Star basketball games are set for Friday and Saturday.

It's one, last opportunity for the star athletes to represent their school. The team's include a variety of tri-state area participants including Henderson County's Gerard Thomas, Owensboro's Rod Drake, and Forest Park's Amber Tretter.

Gerard Thomas says this game should be high-energy.

"The hype and history around this game, there's no way we can just play around," said Thomas.

Drake also had nothing but praise for Indiana's team.

"Indiana's a heck of a state. They have a lot to pick from. They have a several guys who are going division one," said Drake. "Our guys are excited to be a part of it."
