It began with just a vision, a dream, in the mind of Loren Laverne Laws. A 1948 graduate of THS; his dream was to create a showcase for THS all-star athletes and coaches. In 1999, Vern’s dream came true when Kent Bilyeu, athletic director at THS at that time, Joe Brining and others helped start the THS All-Star Showcase. The primary purpose of the All-Star Showcase was to honor and preserve the histories of THS athletes and coaches who qualify and to honor THS military veterans who served in war. Vern dedicated the All-Star Showcase to the memory of Danny Blubaugh, a high school basketball teammate of Vern’s. Blubaugh, killed in action in Korea in 1952, served in the Marine Corps.
