The Indiana All-Stars program was founded in 1939 when the Indiana Boys All-Stars played the state champion Frankfort Hot Dogs. The series with Kentucky began in 1940, and the girls’ portion of the All-Stars was added in 1976. The Junior All-Stars, boys and girls, were added in 1996. The All-Star senior girls have played Kentucky every year since 1976, except 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The All-Star senior boys have played Kentucky in all but three years since 1940 — 1943 (World War II), 1944 (World War II) and 2020 (COVID-19 pandemic). The Futures Games doubleheader was added in 2023.

The Indiana Senior boys lead 104-45 in their series with Kentucky. The Indiana Senior boys lead 41-11 in games against the Indiana Junior boys. The Indiana Junior boys lead 7-5 in their series with Kentucky. The Indiana Senior girls lead 53-41 in their series with Kentucky. The Indiana Senior girls lead 41-11 in games against the Indiana Junior girls. The Indiana Junior girls lead 11-1 in their series with Kentucky. In the inaugural Futures Games, the South boys prevailed 100-96 and the North girls won 73-63.

 The Indiana portion of the All-Star Games is organized and produced by the Indiana Basketball Coaches Association. The Indianapolis Star, with its IndyStar brand, is a title sponsor. Hoosier Shooting Academy is a presenting partner of All-Star Week, and Energy Systems Group is a presented partner of the June 8 All-Star doubleheader at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

 The IndyStar Indiana All-Star Team is selected through a balloting process of coaches and media overseen by game organizers from the IBCA. The top vote getter will be named Mr. Basketball, and the remainder of the team is finalized by Broughton after observing numerous games and events throughout the season, conferring with coaches, school officials and media across the state. Broughton also reviews votes submitted by coaches and media who each could recommend up to 10 players.

The Indiana All-Stars will play the Indiana Junior All-Stars on June 5 at Kokomo, followed by the annual doubleheader against the Kentucky All-Stars. Those games will be played on June 7 in Lexington, Ky. (Lexington Catholic High School) and June 8 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Tickets for the game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse went on sale this week and can be purchased through Ticketmaster or in person from 12-5 p.m. from Monday through Friday at the fieldhouse box office.

All three dates will be doubleheaders with the IndyStar Indiana girls’ All-Stars, whose roster was announced March 11. The roster for the Indiana girls’ Junior All-Stars was announced March 4. The roster for the Indiana boys’ Junior All-Stars was announced March 25.

 The Indiana Junior All-Stars will play two girl-boy doubleheaders this year — June 2 against the Kentucky Junior All-Stars at Scottsburg and June 7 against the Indiana seniors at Kokomo.

 The second IndyStar Indiana All-Star “Futures Games” doubleheader will be June 3 at Hamilton Southeastern.
