The Cambridge CSO All-Star Game will be celebrating its 40th anniversary this year; the game will take place on May 30th, with the girls game starting at 6pm and the boys to follow.
A major shift in the game this year will be how the teams were put together. For the 40th anniversary, we are transitioning away from the East/West format and selecting players from an at-large pool via a serpentine draft format. This will mark the 3rd such team organizational change in the history of the game (1 – Class C and D teams 2 – East/West 3 – Serpentine Draft)
To replace the East/West team names, teams will now be named to recognize the great coaches of the past that either impacted Southwest Nebraska basketball or Coached in the CSO all star game.
This years teams will be named after the following coaches:
Team: Coach (Roger) Lauhead: Wauneta-Palisade
Team: Coach (Mike) Lanham: Oxford/Southern Valley
Team: Coach (Jody) Rhodes: Paxton
Team: Coach (Bob) Newcomb: Bartley/Twin Valley
Coaches will be recognized at Half-time of the Girls and Boys contests.
