Trembath Memorial Scholarhip

The Trembath Memorial was originally dedicated to Jason Trembath. Jason was a Varsity baseball player for the Horizon Hawks, with a bright future, until one day in October of 1992 it was all taken away from him and his family. Jason, 17 years old and his brother Michael, 15 years old, were playing baseball in their backyard. When they went to retrieve an errand ball an argument broke out between Jason and another 14 year old boy, Shawn Driskell. It was after the argument that Driskell came back with a gun from his house and shot Jason three times in the chest, killing Jason. Michael was the only witness to the murder. Head coach, Duane Redford along with all of Jason’s' teammates had to play their Spring season without their starting shortstop, which was Jason’s' Senior season, coach Redford retired Jason's number (#10) which can be found on all the varsity jerseys. Tim and Mona Trembath set up a $1,000.00 scholarship for the top senior baseball player along with buying each of the players' varsity jerseys to keep; they continue to do this today.

As mentioned before, the Trembath Memorial was originally in honor of Jason but the sad story continues. In the Spring of 1994, Michael, a Junior Varsity baseball player for the Horizon Hawks, was going to be testifying against Driskell for murdering his brother Jason. The day before the trial, Michael went with some of Jason’s' friends to get away for a while before he testified the next day. They went for a drive through Clear Creek Canyon and on their way back home through the canyon the car hit a patch of ice, the car lost control and rolled. All three were ejected out of the car, both friends made it out alive but Michael was killed. The Trembaths and the Horizon baseball program had suffered another tragedy. Junior Varsity coach, Chris Wohlford, had his team take the field in their next game and played without a second baseman for the first inning, Michaels' position. Coach Redford retired Michael’s number (#23) and it now can be found along side Jason's on all the varsity jerseys. Mona remembered the day before the accident, Michael telling her that he just wanted to be with his brother again.

Jason and Michael were Tim and Mona's only children. Both brothers' numbers are now on the center field fence. Jason's #10 and Michael's #23 are constant reminders of the fond memories and good times shared.
As some of you are aware, Tim and Mona have supported Horizon Baseball by providing a $1,000.00 Trembath Memorial scholarship to the team's outstanding senior. They have also supplied the team with jerseys for the past 14 years.
