The upcoming Sprite Ball is due to have a major change in its format as a music component-that has High School students showing of their music talents for various prizes while representing their schools- has been added. (Click highlighted text to watch preview)
This is to be competed for by male and female students but the basketball competition won’t have players representing their various schools. Rather, players will represent the regions their High Schools are located in.
