Riverdale senior basketball standout and University of Tennessee signee Anastasia Hayes will add another all-star game to her spring plans as she has been named to play in the Jordan Brand Classic.

The game will be played April 14 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

Many of the same players participating in the McDonald’s All-American game will be part of the 24-girl Jordan Brand Classic roster.

Riverdale's Anastasia Hayes was presented with her McDonald's All American jersey and hat on Tuesday, Feb. 21, 2017, at the school after being named as part of the 40th All American team.

Hayes is joined by three future University of Tennessee teammates in the game, Rennia Davis (Jacksonville, Fla.), Kasiyahna Kushkituah (Alpharetta, Ga.) and Evina Westbrook (Salem, Ore.).

The 5-foot-7 guard is one of the five finalist for the prestigious Naismith High School Girls Trophy and is also a Miss Basketball finalist for Class AAA.

Riverdale is currently 27-0 and ranked No. 1 in the nation by USA Today and MaxPreps and will be playing Friday night at home at 7 against Franklin County in the quarterfinals of the Region 4-AAA Tournament.
