CHASE SITLER

Warren Area High School senior Chase Sitler will play for Team Pennsylvania against Team New York in the Big 30 Senior Basketball Classic on Sunday at Portville Central School in Portville, N.Y.

There are two all-star games being held — the girls’ game at 2 p.m. there followed by the boys’ game, tentatively at 4 p.m.

Those games — sponsored by the Big 30 Athletic Corporation — pit 12 graduating seniors from the Pennsylvania Big 30 schools against their New York counterparts (similar to but different from the Big 30 football charities game each August).

There is a committee of coaches and officials that select the players, according to Dave Fuhrman, Big 30 Senior Classic chairman. Aaron Straub (Elk County Catholic) and Derrick Francis (Otto-Eldred) are co-head coaches for the Pennsylvania boys team and Patrick Wight (Cuba-Rushford) for the New York boys.
