AND PASSION FOR FOOTBALL
n 1982, on April 16, at the M.H.S.F.C.A. clinic, held in Jackson, the Original Board of Directors were inducted as the Inaugural Class of the Hall of Fame. Since 1983, new inductees to the Hall of Fame are individually introduced to family, friends, past and present fellow coaches, present and former players. Each inductee's coaching
credentials, years of coaching, team and individual accomplishments are presented to those in attendance and the inductees then, in turn, relate what coaching has meant to them. This is the highlight of the evening.

Coach Chuck Baughman, Dearborn: "It is the relation-ships that you develop and the experiences that you share with your football family." Coach Doug Bess, Battle Creek Central: "I coached because I enjoyed working with young people. They keep you feeling young." Coach Bob Czarnecki, Trenton: “To help kids navigate through the toughest time of their lives. The football field in an extension of the classroom and the dinner table." Coach J. Patrick Dignan, Ypsilanti/Chelsea: "I believe a coach has a great opportunity and a great responsibility to have a positive impact on our schools, communities, and our society." Coach Ken Dillon, Jackson Catholic Middle School: "Coaching football allowed me to do what I loved to do and to do it with those I loved to be with - kids." Coach Neal Hoffman, Fowler: "I continue on to learn more about a sport I grew to love, in a town, with a great football tradition." Coach Steven Horodyski, Grand Haven: "Coaching chose me in 1968... and I knew I wanted to coach and teach. I have never wanted to do anything else." Coach Roy Eldon Houston, Bay City Western: "I love working with young men. Football has allowed me to participate in a game that I love." Coach Larry Kastl, Midland: "... realistically and most importantly is the lasting relationships that are developed with players and fellow coaches. ... these memories last a lifetime." Coach Ted McIntyre, Mount Pleasant: "... what a great sport to challenge young men mentally and physically to grow up and overcome their fears." Coach Anthony Scarcelli, Marine City: "Football has allowed me to continue to be part of a team. ...and have a lot of fun along the way." Coach Dennis P. Stansbery, Battle Creek Harper Creek: "The relationships have been a significant factor in my life. I have received much more from coaching than I have ever given. Coach Earold Keith Stephens Sr., Oak Park: "I coach to build character and mold young men, so they grow and become positive men for the next generation." Coach Todd Van Houten, Coopersville: "Football has been my life ... I owe so much to the greatest sport ever made." The heartfelt acceptance speeches and the cherished memories shared by the inductees truly made this evening a night of memories, laughs, tears, and standing ovations. Saturday, March 28, 2015, marked the 33rd Annual Banquet and Induction of the Michigan High School Foot-ball Coaches Association Hall of Fame. The University of
Michigan and the M.H.S.F.C.A. have worked hand in hand, for over 30 years, to recognize outstanding Michigan high school coaches. From 1983 through 2009 the celebration was held at either Crisler Arena or the Track and Field Building on the U of M campus. In 2010, The Sheraton Ann Arbor Hotel has set the scene and has been more than gracious hosts. The ambiance in which all was presented and the excellent food that was enjoyed by all, once again, provided an exceptional eve-ning for over 470 in attendance. The largest in attendance since moving to our new venue. In 1983, Head Coach "Bo" Schembechler introduced “Woody” Hayes as the guest speaker for the evening. Ara Parseghian, “Duffy” Daugherty, George Perles, Jim Harkema, and Herb Deromedi, all former head coaches at major universities have highlighted the evening. Also, University of Michigan head football coaches "Bo" Schembechler, Gary Moeller, Lloyd Carr, Rich Rodriguez, and Brady Hoke have given the main address. Many assistant coaches of the Michigan Wolverines have also been guest speakers. This great tradition was once again highlighted by the presence of the 20th Head Football Coach of the Michigan Wolverines, Coach Jim Harbaugh. Coach Harbaugh had everyone listening to his positive insights about coaching. His emphasis was not on just the wins and losses and but on the importance of what football coaches can have on young men, their families, the community, and on the future of these young individuals whom they coach. The University of Michigan is extremely proud to be a part of this event emphasizing the importance of the M.H.S.F.C.A. and High School Football in the State of Michigan. Executive Director Larry Merx began the evening by giving an overview of the of the association and highlight-ing the new and exciting “Wall of Fame” and the “Virtual Hall of Fame" which are now displayed and available to all Michigan High School Football Fans. The “Wall of Fame” is prominently displayed at the University of Michigan Football Stadium, “The Big House”, and the “Virtual Hall of Fame”, is up and running on the M.H.S.F.C.A. web site. (mhsfca.com) Ed Greenman, retired head coach at Battle Creek Harper Creek High School, and President of the M.H.S.F.C.A. welcomed everyone to the Hall of Fame Banquet and Induction. "Tonight you will hear about the achievements, awards, and accomplishments of the members of this induction class. While impressive and well deserved, their biggest impact is far more important than any victory or cham-pionship. The lifelong lessons they have taught, such as

NotesDear MHSFCA Members:
The loss of my father has been the most humbling experience of my life. However, through this tragedy, I now know how many lives my father has touched and how truly loved he was. With that being said, I would like to thank the association for not only this monetary gift, but also for their thoughts, prayers and the acknowledgements of my father’s legacy. I truly appreciate everything this association has done for me and my family and I thank you all so much. I hope to meet and see all of you at the Hall of Fame banquet.
Sincerely,Eiyesha K. Stephens
MHSFCA Members:
I just wanted to say thanks from myself and my family for a memorable night----the impact it had on my children is incredible. It also gave me a chance to have Coach Cook, my old boss, share the weekend with us. Again, from all of us, thank you so very much!!

teamwork, dedication, hard work, honesty, and commit-ment, are most important. They have led by a positive example and will leave behind a legacy that they, their families, and communities will always be proud of." This was the 33rd Annual Induction. Including this year's inductees, the M. H. S. F. C. A. has inducted 700 of the finest high school football coaches in the state of Michigan into the Hall of fame, and each induction has a personality all its own. Many constants remain the same to make this an exceptional evening for the inductees, their families and friends. One such constant is the dedication of the mem-bers of the association who see too the many details that go into organizing, maintaining, and preparing for the evening. They, behind the scenes, give their time and energy, with no thanks needed, to maintain and preserve the tradition and integrity of the Hall of Fame.
Another constant is the inductees are men of achieve-ment and integrity, who give credit to their families, their players, their fellow coaches, and their communities for their success. Fourteen outstanding individuals. Their names and credentials will be enshrined forever in the M.H.S.F.C.A. Hall of Fame and displayed at the University of Michigan’s Football Stadium. They coached for over 487 seasons, won more than 2,997 football games, but most of all, touched the lives of countless individuals. The inductees expressed their love of coaching and their love of football. They recognized those, their families, who have made it possible for them to do what they love – coach football. The 33rd Annual M. H. S. F. C. A. Hall of Fame Induc-tion and Banquet was once again a truly remarkable evening. Congratulations to the Inductees: The Class of 2015. The Best of the Best and the Finest of the Finest.

ith the game just two months away prepa-rations are heating up both on the field and off. Our roster has been completed and it is safe to say that there will not be a short-
age of talent representing the state of Michigan on June 13th. Our coaching staff consisting of Terry Hessbrook (Ithaca), Craig Snyder (Ithaca), Gary Griffith (Troy), Tony Miller (Clarkston), Drake Wilkins (Madison), and Jim Ahern (Lansing Catholic) have done a tremendous job of evaluating talent and assembling this year’s team. I would like to extend a special thank you to all of the coaches from across the state that recommended players for the 2015 edition of team Michigan. The continued success of this game is dependent upon the support of our membership. The 2015 team was introduced at the annual press conference held at the Hall of Fame Café in East Lan-sing. Once again this was a great event that was well attended by the coaches, players, and families of 2015 team Michigan. The highlight of this event is when the coaches finally get to put faces to the names on the roster. The fact that so many family members attend the event always guarantees that the room will be filled with pride and enthusiasm. Upon leaving the press conference it was obvious that our team is already unified to achieve the goals of making this year’s game an experience of a lifetime and to beat Ohio!

MHSFCA All Star committee chair As the calendar turned to March it was time to get down to some football. The content of our coaches meeting changed from player evaluation to some real X’s and O’s. After many hours of meetings and hashing out terminology and personnel groupings it was time to take it to the field. Thanks to our friends at the Legacy Center in Brighton we were able to conduct our first team walkthrough in a state of the art facility. The players and coaches made it very obvious why they were selected as All Stars. The practice was planned out with the great-est attention to detail and the players gave a great effort for the duration of the practice. Our first walkthrough has laid the groundwork for success on the field and has allowed this group of individuals to begin the process of becoming a team. In the days that lie ahead we will have two more walkthroughs at Detroit Country Day made possible by our good friend and MHSFCA supporter Dan MacLean as well as the rest of the DCD community. Our coaches and players are committed to really working hard to represent football in our great state. I encourage everybody to do their part and join us June 13th at Wayne State University. Let’s make sure we have a true home field advantage as our team takes the field. Be sure to check www.MHSFCA.com for the latest news associated with this year’s game. Enjoy your spring time in Michigan and I will see you at the game. BEAT OHIO!
