Unlike some years, the Region roster for the 19th annual Jack Blair Memorial girls high school all-star basketball classic has a largely Idaho flavor.

Of the 12 players on the Region roster, nine are from Idaho - and five of those are from Coeur d'Alene High.

This year's game is scheduled to tip off Monday at 7:30 p.m. at University High in Spokane Valley. The game pits the Metro team (Greater Spokane League players) vs. the Region (North Idaho players, and players elsewhere in eastern Washington).

Coeur d'Alene High is represented by seniors Erin Legel and Kyeli Parker, juniors Caelyn Orlandi and Kendalyn Brainard, and sophomore Sydney Williams.

Also on the Region squad from Idaho are juniors Brooke Litalien and Danielle Failor of Post Falls, and senior Chelsea Waters and junior Karlee Wilson from Lewiston.

Also on the Region team is Jamie Weisner of Clarkston, a 5-foot-10 guard/forward who has signed with Oregon State.

"She's the best player on the west coast," said Ron Adams, director of the all-star game and director of the Spokane Stars girls AAU basketball program. "She is real special. She can play multiple positions, she's a scoring machine. She has no weakness at the offensive end, and she has that competitive greatness."

Weisner scored 28 points in last year's game, won by the Metro 97-79 at Lake City High.

The Region team won in 2009 for its first victory in the series. The Metro won 103-81 two years ago, and has dominated the series despite the improved talent on the Region team in recent years.

"They (the Region) have a real shot because they're athletic, and have really solid players all the way through," Adams said. "The GSL is real solid. The Region has more talent, but the GSL plays better defense. The GSL is probably the best league in three or four states."

Legel has signed with the University of Great Falls, Waters with Gonzaga. The Region has just four seniors in the game.

Metro players planning to play in college are Lindsay Stockton of Gonzaga Prep (Montana State), Katie Estey of Central Valley (Carroll), Brooke Gallaway of Central Valley (Santa Clara), Aleisha Hathaway of Shadle Park (Western Washington) and Nakia Arquette of Lewis and Clark (Utah).

First-team all-GSL players from the Metro are Gallaway, Hathaway, Arquette, Kayleigh Valley and Hallie Gennett of University, and Jade Redmon of Mead.

Gennett, a junior, said she is not returning to University for her senior season. She declined to go into specifics. She is playing with Post Falls High's summer league team this summer, and would like to play on the Post Falls High squad next season if possible, but details of a transfer are still being worked out, the family said.

"This game will have probably the best talent ever," Adams said. "I figure there should as many as 18 Division I signees from this group when it's all said and done."
