NEW YORK —
Kentucky State women's basketball head coach
Amani Williams has been selected to lead the Laney Leapers at the 2025 HBCU All-Star Dream Classic, set for Aug. 9 at Rucker Park in Harlem.
Top HBCU men's and women's basketball players from across the country will compete Aug. 9, with the women's game tipping off at 4:30 p.m., followed by the men's game at 7:30 p.m.
Coach Williams has continued to make a significant impact at Kentucky State, transitioning from a standout student-athlete to the head coach of the same program.
