2015 HALL OF FAME BANQUET AND INDUCTION
Continued from page 1
Coach Chuck Baughman, Dearborn: "It is the relationships 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 Football 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 evening 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 highlighting 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 championship. The lifelong lessons they have taught, such as
MHSFCA NEWSLETTER
May 2015
teamwork, dedication, hard work, honesty, and commitment, 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 members 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.
Page 5
Another constant is the inductees are men of achievement 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 Induction 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.
Notes
Dear MHSFCA Members:
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.
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!!
Bob Czarnecki
Trenton High School

2015 Border Classic Update
Jim Sparks
MHSFCA All Star committee chair
ith the game just two months away preparations 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 shortage 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 Lansing. 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!
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 greatest 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!
Team Michigan Head Coach, Terry Hessbrook, talks with his team at the
Legacy Center Team Michigan practice in April.
