The 12th Annual Reggie Stephens Foundation Central Coast All-Star Basketball Game is set to tip off this weekend, continuing a long-standing tradition of highlighting the top basketball talent from Santa Cruz and Monterey counties. 

The best high school senior boys and girls along with 8th grade boys from across both counties will compete in a highly anticipated event celebrating skill, sportsmanship and community at Scotts Valley High School on Sunday.

According to a press release, the RSF Central Coast All-Star Game has grown into one of the premier basketball showcases in the region that features alumni who have gone on to play at collegiate and professional levels. 

Beyond the game, RSF continues to make an impact by supporting student-athletes through mentorship, academic resources and athletic training.

“This game is about more than basketball,” said Reggie Stephens, a former National Football League player and RSF founder. “It’s about giving young athletes a stage, fostering leadership, and creating opportunities for the future. For over a decade, we’ve watched athletes grow, earn scholarships and give back to their communities. This year will be no different.”
