The game's rosters featured the best and most highly recruited high school girls graduating in 2007. The game was the 6th annual version of the McDonald's All-American Game first played in 2002. The 48 players were selected from 2,500 nominees by a committee of basketball experts. They were chosen not only for their on-court skills, but for their performances off the court as well. Coach Morgan Wootten, who had more than 1,200 wins as head basketball coach at DeMatha High School, was chairman of the selection committee. Legendary UCLA coach John Wooden, who has been involved in the McDonald's All American Games since its inception, served as chairman of the Games and as an advisor to the selection committee. Proceeds from the 2008 McDonald's All American High School Basketball Games went to Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) of Kentuckiana and its Ronald McDonald House program. 2007 Game The game was telecast live by ESPN. The sixth annual Girls Game kicked off an action packed evening at Freedom Hall. A crowd of nearly 12,000 fans witnessed a couple of record-breaking performances by our All American girls.
