INDIANAPOLIS – Another honor has been bestowed upon Tippecanoe Valley junior hoopster Anne Secrest. Wednesday afternoon Secrest was named to the Indianapolis Star Junior All-Stars team.

Among the 18 players selected, Secrest was listed among the North Group, with included South Bend St. Joseph’s Nicole Konieczny and Daly Sullivan, Hamilton Southeastern’s Bre Lloyd, Covenant Christian (Indianapolis) Rachel McLimore and Homestead’s Madisen Parker.

The junior team will play two games June 7 and 9 against the Indy Star’s Indiana All-Star senior girls. The sites for the games have not yet been announced. The Indiana senior All-Stars will play the Kentucky senior All-Stars June 11 at Banker’s Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. The juniors will not play Kentucky this year.
