Creston senior catcher Ava Adamson has been selected to play in the Iowa Girls Coaches Association Senior All-Star games on Saturday.

Adamson is a member of the Red Team coached by Wayne coach Heather Fortune and Andrea Schwery of IKM-Manning. Izzie Moore of Wayne is also a member of that team.

The Red team’s schedule is 3 p.m. vs. White Team and 7 p.m. vs. Blue Team at Waukee High School. No other Hawkeye Ten Conference players were selected for the series. Neela Applegate of Winterset is on the Blue Team coached by James Flaws of Van Meter and Mike Kuba of Cedar Rapids Jefferson.

The ceremony is scheduled at approximately 6 p.m. In 29 years at coach at I-35, Bogs won 675 games with six state tournament appearances in 1993, 2000, 2005, 2015, 2016 and 2017.
