South and North Split At 2009 WBCA Girls All-Star Games

The balance, quality, and depth of talent was on full display Saturday afternoon at the MATC Gymnasium as the North and South squads split the four Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Association All-Star games.  The North took victories in the Division 1 and Division 3 games, while the South squad came out ahead in the Division 2 and Division 4 contests.
