Stokes out, but the IGCA games will go on

CEDAR RAPIDS -- Kiah Stokes is out of state, but the Class 4A Select team is not out of talent.

The Iowa Girls Coaches Association all-star girls' basketball games are Saturday and Sunday at Hennessey Recreation Center on the Mount Mercy University campus, and the 4A Select team will be rich with talent.

You've got Virginia Johnson of Iowa City High, who has signed with the Iowa Hawkeyes. You've got Des Moines East's Division-I trio of Markisha Wright (who will be at Notre Dame next year), Shronda Butts and Nijay Gaines. And you've got Tia Dawson of Cedar Rapids Washington, who will play college ball at Dartmouth College.

The 120-girl, six-game event begins at 12:30 Saturday afternoon, with the 3A game, followed by the 3A-4A Select game at 2:15 and the 4A contest at 4.

Small-school games are Sunday.

Stokes, the Miss Iowa Basketball 2011 selection from Linn-Mar and a University of Connecticut signee, is competing at the WBCA all-star game Saturday at Indianapolis. So is Taylor Greenfield of Ballard, a Stanford signee.
