CHARLOTTE – Providence Day will host the 2020 N.C.Private School All-Star Game on Feb. 29.

The game will feature some of the top senior boys and girls basketball players in the state. Head coaches and athletic directors from across the state nominated over 100 players for consideration for the game.

The girls game has four players that have already signed to play at the collegiate level.

Area players on the West team include Emma Coles, of Charlotte Christian; Kennedy Grier, of Charlotte Country Day; Viktoria McCue, of Covenant Day; and Nina-Simone Clark, Grace Godwin, Morgan Kelson, Andi Levitz, MiLeia Owens and Kailey Smith, of Providence Day.
