Sometimes the term all-star is tossed around much too frivolously. This wouldn't be one of those times.

Tonight, the College of Southern Idaho women's basketball team welcomes back some of the program's familiar names as the Golden Eagles All-Stars take on the College of Eastern Utah during the 6 p.m. game of the Boise Office Equipment Challenge in Twin Falls. While all-star teams often play the role of out-of-shape blowout fodder, this is a squad that even current CSI coach Randy Rogers and his No. 8 Golden Eagles can be a little nervous about playing on Friday.

"They'll be competitive. That's probably the scariest thing about this team," Rogers said. "Coach (Merrilee Sears) is going to play at least one night. We'll see if she can walk the next night."

Conditioning will likely be the biggest determining factor in how competitive the CSI All-Stars fare, but this isn't a squad of soccer moms out on a health kick. This team features two NJCAA Division I All-Americans, five All-Region 18 selections and nearly 40 years of combined collegiate playing experience.

Seven of the players are only one to five years removed from their collegiate careers, including former CSI stars Sidney Orndorff and Delicia Jernigan, who may play starting with Friday's game against the current Golden Eagles.

While Rogers won't be coaching this all-star team tonight, he's looking forward to reuniting with some of his former players, along with former assistant coach and CSI player Jessica Gibbs-Mesna.

"It's going to be exciting, not only to watch them play, but also to sit down and talk to them and kind of reminisce," Rogers said. "And let them play on this floor one more time - maybe for the last time."

While they'll have to contend with the youth and depth of CEU head coach Dave Paur's team, the CSI All-Stars will hope that guile and experience will pull them through.

"They're just wiser, smarter and more mature than these kids that are 17, 18 years old," Rogers said. "And it's tough sometimes to play against that because things that might work against other 17-, 18-year-olds might not work against them."
