A Tradition Revived
The Blue Water Area high school basketball all‑star game is set to return to Imlay City High School on June 25, 2024, after a two‑year hiatus caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
Created by longtime organizer Jim Whymer, the event will feature separate boys and girls games, a 3‑point shooting contest and a dunk contest, offering a showcase for some of the region’s top senior talent.
Rosters for the all‑star teams will be released in the coming weeks, with coaches and players eager to see who will earn the honor of representing their schools on the court.
The game’s previous editions were staged at Croswell‑Lexington High School in 2024 and 2025, but this year’s venue marks a return to Imlay City, the original home of the competition.
Local organizers say the revival reflects the community’s enduring love of basketball and its commitment to supporting high school athletes.
