In an entertaining game Jason Ingram led 5 Patriot/National All-Stars in double figures with 21 points leading Patriot/National to a 102-87 win in the Northern Region Senior All-Star Game.

Patriot/National jumped out to an 11-0 lead and never looked back. After the lead had grown to as many as 16 the LIberty/Concorde team showed some life cutting the lead to 1 at 30-29 in the second quarter. Julian Brown called time-out for Patriot/National to regroup the troops. The time-out seemed to energize Patriot/National as they finished the half with a 12-2 flurry, giving them a comfortable 42-31 lead at the break.

In the second half it was all Patriot/National. They pushed the lead over 20 in the early minutes of the half and weren't challenged the rest of the way. With the outcome of the game all but decided the game turned into a showcase for some of the region's best talents. Cross-over dribbles, no-look passes, alley-oops and three point bombs excited the crowd down the stretch.

Matt Gustafson led the Concorde/Liberty team in scoring with 15 points and was named the team MVP in a losing effort. Robert Wiley chipped in 12 on 4 three pointers while Jackson Dismukes added 10 playing in front of his own crowd at Marshall. Ingram took home MVP honors for the victors on the strength of his 21. Rocky Batista and Nathan Walker scored 16 a piece. Walker's teammate at Robinson Baher Eligbali added 15 while Batista's teammate from Washington & Lee Maurice Bennett scored 10 from the point.
