INA — It took a while, but the 44th Benton Lions Club All-Star Games are in the books. After getting postponed three weeks ago due to the threat of severe weather, many of the area’s top senior basketball players gathered at Rend Lake College for the long-running all-star games.

Gallatin County’s Carly Foster was named MVP of the girls game, while Meridian’s Tristan Mackins and Carterville’s Caden Hawkins were named co-MVP’s of the boys game.
