Two players selected for all-star game

Maci Hoffman and Allison Grissett have been selected as two of the top basketball players in Texas and invited to participate in the 17th Texas Roundup All-Star game to be held on March 19 in Maypearl, Texas.  The Texas Roundup, considered one of the state’s most prestigious events, selects the state’s top 24 boys and 24 girls from Class 1A, 2A, 3A and 4A schools. 

“It feels great to be selected to play on the Texas Round-Up All-Star team,” Hoffman said. “It’s a big accomplishment and I can’t wait to play.”

Players selected for the game are chosen from hundreds of nominations statewide.  Recruiters across the state participate as advisors in the Texas Roundup selection process.  The girl’s game is scheduled for 2:30 pm, followed by the boys’ game at 4:30. Admission to the games is $5.00. Maypearl is located on FM 66, approximately 10 miles west of Waxahachie and 15 miles north of Hillsboro.

“I feel so blessed to be nominated to play in such a prestigious game,” Grissett said. “Not everyone gets this opportunity so it’s very humbling. I’m so excited to get to play with my life-long teammate for one last time.”
