Father & Son All StarsFrom Pat Gallinagh:When Dylan Jurasin of Ishpeming played in this year’s All-Star game it was the first time we have ever had a father and son play in our All-Star games. Dylan’s dad, Bob, played in the 1982 game and still has the record for the longest punt from scrimmage. He went on to a great career as a down lineman for Northern Michigan and a sensational career in the CFL for Saskatchewan and last year was inducted in the CFL Hall of Fame (which I believe was another first for one of our All-Stars).
Father, Son & UnclesAll Stars
Note: Anthony Giarmo, Monroe St. Mary Catholic Central played in the 2007 All Star Game. His Father, Jack, coached in the 2007 game and was a player in the first All Star Game in 1981. Anthony’s uncle Bill Giarmo coached in the 1999 game and his uncle Gasper Giarmo coached in the 2002 game.
Hall of FameJust a quick note to thank the Board of Directors of the MHSFCA and everyone else involved with the Hall of Fame event on Saturday. It is truly one of the great events of my life and a time I will never forget. Jack Carlson was right when he wrote in the introductory letter that “until that evening I had no idea how special that evening was for all those being inducted along with me and how special it must have been for all the past incuctees”.Again, my sincere thanks.Richard BushBattle Creek Central High SchoolHall of Fame Class of 2007

On July 21 2007, the 88 best football players in the state of Michigan showcased their talents in front of approximately. 10,000 fans at Spartan Stadium. The game itself was a well played contest, featuring some of the hardest hitting in recent All Star memory. The West was victorious by a final score of 9-7. East head coach Drake Wilkins, and West Head Coach Tom Barbieri did a tremendous job preparing their teams. Both coaching staffs gave the players a week of memories that will last a lifetime.
On behalf of the MHSFCA I would like to thank Michigan State Univeristy Head Coach Mark Dantonio, and his staff for hosting us again this year. Their hospitality made this year one of the smoothest running games in All Star History. A special thanks goes out to Director of Football Operations Mike Vollmar and Directory of High School Relations Dino Folino for their help setting up the logistics of All Star Week.
It takes more than one person to run the All Star Game, and I’d like to thank those who make it possible: Keith Froleich (Banquet), Larry Merx (Program), Craig Healy and Jim Buttson (Liason), Jim Clawson (Tickets), Tim Parker (Equipment), Troy Nezki (Hospitality), and Tim Baker, Fred Davis, Tony Ceccaci, and Loren Wiley (All Star Operations). In addition, past president and former MHSFCA All Star Committee Chair Larry Rueger was on hand during All Star Week to assist in day to day operations.
I look forward to next years game, and hope to see you there.

25th Annual MHSFCA Banquet to Honor the
Best of the Best, Finest of the Finest
By Tom Fagan, Hall of Fame Chair
T he 2007 Michigan high school football Hall of Fame banquet was held at the University of Michigan’s Track Building on Saturday, May 19. The first banquet was in 1982. There the original board of
directors of the Association was inducted into the Hall of Fame. Since that time, over the last 25 years, we have inducted almost 500 coaches into the Hall of Fame. We have had annual banquets with crowds of 450 to 900 people who turn out to support and cheer on the inductees. This year we inducted a class of 14 outstanding inductees from all over the state of Michigan. Although small in number, it was a typical group of dedicated coaches who were highly successful and as one inductee stated, “We were overworked, underpaid and loved every minute of it.” Another stated that their priorities are in this order, “God, family and football.” The inductees proved to be very articu-late and gracious as they introduced their families and gave credit to the many people who contributed to their successful careers. As MHSFCA President Al Slamer, the very successful coach from Battle Creek Central, stated in his comments about the accomplishments of the inductees, “They have won many championships and many honors for their schools, but what was most impressive was the positive impact these gentlemen had on thousands of student-athletes. They have led by example and will leave a legacy of which they will always be proud.” This was my 25th and last year as chairman of the Hall of Fame committee and master of ceremonies of the induction banquet. Chuck Ritter who was very successful for many years as head football coach at Ann Arbor Pioneer High School has been a dedicated and capable member of the Hall of Fame com-mittee and will be an outstanding Chair. One of the highlights of each banquet has been the welcome talk and involvement of the Michigan coaches starting with Bo Schembechler, Gary Moeller, and for over a dozen years, Lloyd Carr who was once a Michigan high school football coach. Coach Carr has been an especially gracious host. The inductees and their families are always very impressed that Lloyd Carr stays well after the ceremonies have concluded to pose for photos with the inductees and their families and to enjoy their company. Coach Carr is a great public relations representative for his passion, football, and for the University of Michigan. Thanks, coach, for helping to make each banquet such a memorable experience for all of us. I would like to thank the members of the MHSFCA for all their help and dedication in serving their fellow coaches. There are over fifty areas of responsibility on our banquet organization chart, many of which must be completed before the banquet starts. Many of the committee heads have been working this banquet for most of the 25 year history of the banquets. What makes our
association great and motivates all of us is the willingness of all of our members to give freely of their time and talents. It has been a pleasure serving as chair for 25 years. I hope I remain involved but in a minor role and not on the stage. One of our goals as an association is to promote high school football by honoring the coaches who make it such a great game. During the banquet ceremonies we state that, “We honor the finest of the finest.” Those of you who make the banquet possible are included in that praise. I’ve been privileged to be a part of it. The team! The team! The team!

The Michigan High School Football Coaches Association is proud to announce Joe Meerman, of Coopersville, as this year’s recipient of the prestigious Alliance Award.Joe has been involved in youth football at Coopersville for 21 years. He is described as compassionate and committed above and beyond the call of duty. In addition to his contributions in youth football, Joe also serves as an umpire and coach of little league baseball. In the winter he runs a skill based recreational basketball league for local youngsters. During varsity football games he serves as sideline manager in charge of equipment, water, and unselfishly assists with any needs of the coaching staff. Joe is best described as a model of the most important life skill a youngster can learn, “the power of giving”.For a man that has never asked to be recognized, it is our pleasure to share in this moment with the 2007 Alliance Award recipient, Mr. Joe Meerman!
The Michigan High School Football Coaches Association offers the Alliance Award in an effort to show appreciation to persons that have made a long term commitment to youth football in the State of Michigan. Our association understands the importance youth coaches have with the creation and maintaining of interest in the sport of football. High
school, college and the professional ranks are filled with young men whose interest originated at the youth level, and for this we are all thankful.

Fraser Reading Program NominationsByNoelDean,FraserReadingProgramChair
The Fraser Reading Program is a community service project in which student athletes serve as role models to elementary students. In the Fraser Reading Program student-athletes are matched-up with elementary teachers and their students. The high school football players then attend the elementary classroom during one class period per week, at least during the football season and read to the students.
The 2007 Fraser Award plaques will be presented at the MHSFCA All Star Football Game. In addition to the plaque awarded to the winning programs, the MHSFCA will present a grant to the elementary school/s designated by the recipient. The grant will be used to purchase books to expand student access to reading materials. MaxPreps.com has pledged to fund the Fraser Reading Program Award. 29% of Michigan schools took advantage of MaxPreps.com’s free web services for high school coaches in 2006. In recognition of that success in their first year in Michi-gan, MaxPreps.com has pledged $1,000 to fund four $250 awards in 2007. MaxPreps.com will pledge up to an additional $2,000 in future years as we increase our participation.

Alliance Award MHSFCA Youth Football Committee
The MHSFCA Alliance Award is offered as a token of appreciation to person(s) having made a long-term commitment to youth football. Individuals that actively promote youth football, simply for a love of the game, and have done so for a long period of time, are excellent candidates. Coaches can be nominated if their contributions expand far beyond personal team(s). Won/loss records are of no concern. As a rule of thumb, persons that have affected the most youngsters over the longest period of time will receive the most consideration through this process. To date, all recipients of this award have been involved with youth football more than 20 years. Volunteers will be given additional consideration.
The nomination process will be completed when this form and accompanying letter are received on or prior to April 1 of the upcoming year. Please mail to: Bill Hollenbeck, MHSFCA, 6856 Wheeler Road,Maple City, MI 49664.

Future Teacher/Coaches Data BaseBy Vince Leveille, Vassar H.S.
I am sure you are aware of the teacher shortage problem in our state. Finding a teacher that is willing to coach football is even more difficult and is getting worse every year. Nearly every head football coach has a player or two attending college for teaching. We have developed a database of teacher education students that played football and are willing to coach upon graduation. I believe it would be much easier for administrators looking for teachers to hire a coach if they had a list of qualified applicants. Below is an information sheet. Please copy this as needed and give it to any of your former players that are in a teacher edu-cation program in college and are interested in coaching upon graduation. They do not have to be seniors to get their name in the database. I would like to keep track of freshmen through seniors. The success of this program is dependent upon the coaches getting the information sheet to prospective teacher/coaches. The second half of this concept is to get the information to the hiring person. If your school has a teaching position open and would like a list of future football coaches, they need to contact me and I will provide them with the information. Please notify your hiring person that there is a list available to them. If a school employee would like a list of names, have them contact Vince Leveille by email at [email protected] or by phone at 989-823-8534 (email would be easier).
