ABSS celebrates Class of 2026 East-West All-Stars, game dates set
ABSS athletes Steven Barbour, Camden Brooks, Dwight Findlay and Thomas Clark will carry Alamance County into the East-West All-Star spotlight in games spanning Greensboro and High Point.
Alamance-Burlington School System Athletics is celebrating four Class of 2026 East-West All-Stars, a selection that puts Alamance County athletes on one of North Carolina’s most recognizable high school stages. Steven Barbour, Camden Brooks, Dwight Findlay and Thomas Clark join a field built around the best graduating players from the eastern half of the state facing the best from the west.
The East-West All-Star Games trace back to 1949, when Coach Bob Jamieson of Grimsley High School and Smith Barrier, the sports editor of the Greensboro News and Record, founded the event to help finance the North Carolina Coaches Association Coaching Clinic. The 2026 edition is the event’s 78th year, underscoring how long the games have served as a proving ground for senior athletes and a statewide showcase for school programs.
For ABSS, the selections reflect more than a ceremonial honor. The district is the 15th-largest public school system in North Carolina, serving nearly 23,000 students in 38 schools, and its athletics mission centers on helping student-athletes grow into responsible citizens through sportsmanship, fair play and teamwork. Getting multiple players into the East-West spotlight highlights a pipeline that stretches from Alamance County’s campuses to college recruiters and, for some athletes, the next level of competition.
The 2026 schedule currently lists East-West All-Star Basketball for Monday, July 20, 2026, at the Greensboro Coliseum Novant Health Field House. The women’s game is set for 6:30 p.m., followed by the men at 8:30 p.m. East-West All-Star Soccer is scheduled for Tuesday, July 21, 2026, at Truist Point in High Point, with the women at 6:30 p.m. and the men at 8:30 p.m.

For Alamance County, the bigger message is clear: ABSS continues to put athletes on a state stage where performance, character and school pride all travel together.
