IOWA CITY - Nine basketball players from Metro high schools will play in the Eastern Iowa All-Star Games at Iowa City West Wednesday night.

They were opponents during the regular season, but now they'll be teammates in the third annual all-star contests presented by Elite Sports USA.

Mykaela Brandt (Linn-Mar), Ashley Stulken (Xavier), Abby Herb (Washington), Courteney McCrary (Prairie) and Maddie Koolbeck (Jefferson) will play in the girls game at 6 p.m.

Matt Lassen (Linn-Mar), Trey Sampson (Xavier), Jimmy Roth (Linn-Mar) and Jace Hanna (Prairie) will compete in the boys game at approximately 7:30.

Brandt plans to play college basketball at Wisconsin-Platteville, Herb is headed to Mount Mercy, McCrary is going to Coe and Koolbeck is also going to Coe. Stulken, who helped Xavier win the Class 4A state title, has not finalized her plans.

Sampson is going to Wayne State (Neb.) to play football, Roth is headed to Upper Iowa and Hanna also is going to Upper Iowa. Lassen originally committed to Albany (N.Y.), but is now uncommitted.

Tickets cost $7 for adults and $5 for students. The doors open at 5:30 p.m.

There will be a 3-point shootout during halftime of the girls game and a dunk contest during halftime of the boys game.

Numerous all-state players will participate in the games, including Gatorade Player of the Year Jeremy Morgan of Iowa City West (a UNI recruit).
