First, for anyone who may be confused, this is the Springfield Lions Club game that pits the Springfield players against the area players. Not the Joplin Lions Club District 26-E game. Understand? Good. Let’s move on.
For those of you who have been waiting for Casey Garrison to appear on an all-star roster, wait no more. She headlines what looks to be a loaded area girls roster for the 31st annual event. The girls contest will kick off the evening of June 14th at 6:30 PM with the city boys clash with the area boys to follow. Bible Baptist College will be hosting the event on their campus in the W. E. Dowell Fieldhouse.
