MPSA All-Star week has arrived, and the Miss-Lou will be well represented.

Five players from area schools — Huntington’s Antonio Jordan and Katie Moak, Adams Christian’s Katie Anne Swinny and Ariana DeLaSalle and Trinity Episcopal’s Eliza Jones — will head to Mississippi College for Saturday’s All-Star games.

“It feels nice to be recognized,” Jordan said. “It feels really good (to be selected).”

Jordan will compete in the Class A boys game, the only Miss-Lou boys player to participate since Trinity’s Stevan Ridley opted out of the game.

Being the only player from the area, Jordan said he would try extra hard to represent the Miss-Lou.

“I think I’ll have to hold it down for the South,” he said.

Jordan will also participate in the slam dunk competition.

Moak, although surprised to be among those selected to play, said she was looking forward to the opportunity.

“I think it’ll be a good experience,” she said. “I’m looking forward to it. It just feels good to be one of the chosen ones.”

Swinny and DeLaSalle are just happy to have the chance to be teammates for one more game.

“I’m glad both of us made it,” Swinny said. “We’re kind of a duo, we go together.”

“I’m really excited that me and Katie Anne made it,” DeLaSalle said. “It’s a pretty big honor.”

Jones is happy just to be a part of the game.

“I’m very excited,” Jones said. “I was very surprised and very honored they selected me to be a part of the team.”

The Miss-Lou girls invited to the game are excited about the opportunity to play with each other and get to know their former competitors.

“I’m glad I get to play with Katie (Moak),” Jones, who will compete in the Class A girls game, said. “We’ve been playing against each other since third grade, so it’ll be nice to play with each other once.”

“Our season ended pretty quickly,” Moak said. “It’s be nice to play another game and get to know a lot of other girls I haven’t been able to spend time with.”

“I just hope we can end our careers well and come out with a lot of friends,” Swinny said. “Hopefully I can make some friends I can keep in touch with through college.”
