BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — The final weekend of the high school basketball season is jammed with all-star games and showcase events for many of the area’s elite performers.

The festivities begin Friday night with the inaugural Girls Silver Hoops All-Star Games at McKinley High School. The Boys Silver Hoops All-Star Classic, in its 26th year, will feature four games on Saturday. Silver Hoops organizer Zaire Dorsey, the McKinley boys coach, sought to add two girls games after the longstanding Lions Club All-Star event folded in recent seasons. (View the rosters below.)

Many of the standout boys will play again Sunday in the third edition of the 716 vs. 585 Classic at Villa Maria College. Presented by Niagara Falls coach Carlos Bradberry, the event matches top players from Buffalo and Rochester, tipping off at 3:30 p.m. with a middle school game, then followed by a freshman/sophomore game, and the upperclassmen all-star taking the floor at 6:30 p.m. Buffalo’s team has won the past two games, held in 2019 and 2021.

Stars of the southern tier will play in the Big 30 Senior Classic on Sunday at Portville, with teams from New York taking on Pennsylvania counterparts. The girls game is at 2 p.m., followed by the boys contest. This year’s girls game will be the first edition of Silver Hoops.

Tipping off the Sunday slate, the Basketball Coaches Association of New York’s local chapter will host a showcase for local players at Sweet Home. More than 80 coaches from New York and Pennsylvania colleges have been invited to scout the skill stations and scrimmages. Last spring’s showcase was attended by 28 college coaches.

Sweet Home also will be the site for the Best of Buffalo Showcase on April 12 (girls) and April 13 (boys). Put together by Pro Training Basketball and Tapekage Productions, the event selects top 20 rosters for underclassmen and upperclassmen games.
