This tradition since 1998, celebrates individuals who have made great contributions to Statesmen athletics both during their high school and professional careers.
This year’s event will honor a range of outstanding individuals and teams who have had an impact on Webster’s school and community. It will feature Jay Blossom, former head basketball coach who has led the team to three State championships and 17 consecutive conference championships; Drew Hanlen, the all-time leader in three-point shots and steals; and the 2008 State champion men’s basketball Team.
The evening will also include an opening ceremony with Dr. John Simpson, the district superintendent, delivering a “State of the District” address.
Senior Emmett Kurth expressed its meaning to him, said, “As an athlete, I look up to those individuals who have contributed so much to our community.”
Chris Johnson, athletics director, said, “The Hall of Fame is a reflection of the success the district has and is a way to honor the past successes of our athletic accomplishments.”
