The 2007 McDonald's All-American Girls Game was an All-star basketball game played on Wednesday, March 28, 2007, at Freedom Hall in Louisville, Kentucky, United States, home of the University of Louisville Cardinals. 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.
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.
Wootten Award winner, Maya Moore (Connecticut) led the East Squad with 18 points and tied the record for most field goals in a game with eight, while Kelley Cain (Tennessee) added 10 points and a new single game record 14 rebounds.
Kayla Pedersen (Stanford) was high scorer for the West Team with 18 points. She also led the team in rebounds with 12. Other West Team notables included, Angie Bjorklund (Tennessee), who poured in 13 points and Victoria Baugh (Tennessee), who pulled down nine rebounds.
The 2007 John R. Wooden MVP Award went to Jasmine Thomas (Duke). She scored 16 points, grabbed nine rebounds and dished six assists in just 15 minutes on the court. The coaches and her All American teammates, voted Drey Mingo (Purdue) this year's Naismith Award winner for Sportsmanship during event week.
The West All Americans still lead the alltime series 4–2, but this was a memorable night for the East. They jumped out to a big halftime lead and never looked back, as they dominated the game from start to finish.
