2 2018 Distinguished Service Award

John Harrington

The year was 1962. John Herrington, a wide-eyed, enthusiastic lover of the game of football was hired by Ron Holland, at North Farm- ington High School, as a member of his staff and served as the Head JV Coach under Coach Holland from 1962-1969. When a new school opened in Farmington in 1970, our John became the first head coach at Farmington Hills Harrison High School, whose teams were called the Hawks. They must like him at Harrison because he is the only Head Football Coach in the history of the school, having recently completed his thirty-third year at the helm. Exactly what factors have allowed him to last so long at the same school?

• The Hawks have won a record 13 state championships while Herrington has compiled a mind- boggling 430-106-1 record. Maybe more impressive is his 87-19 record in state playoff games. A perennial power, Harrison has won a record 13 football state championships: 1981-82, 1988- 89, 1991, 1993-94, 1997-99, 2000-01 and 2010.Herrington is proud to be nearing the record, but he says he was most pleased that Harrison had fewer than 100 losses until a couple years ago.

• His accolades: Along with being named a MHSFCA regional coach and state coach of the year on numerous occasions, he was inducted into our organization’s Hall of Fame in 1986, the Michigan High School Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 1997, The National Coaches Associa- tion Hall of Fame in 1998, The Michigan Sports Hall of Fame in 2001 - only the third Michigan High School Coach to be selected to that august body, and was selected as the National Foot- ball Coach of the Year by the National High School Athletic Coaches Association, also in 2001.

• His passion and love for working in the classroom as a social studies teacher.

• The longtime support of his family, beginning with Fran, his wife, lover, and best friend, who was tragically struck down by cancer in 2001; his daughter Leisa and son Layne.

• His humility as the successes and accolades have mounted: He has served the MHSFCA for over 20 years as its Public Relations Committee Chairman; during that time he has several times been asked to serve as an officer but has decided to remain in his current position.

• His willingness to sit down with coaches of all ages to talk about the game he so dearly loves.

On the Farmington Hills Harrison Hawk Football stationery, you can find the slogan "Where champions are made and success is traditional." Indeed it is and that is why Harrison is consid- ered, and probably not too arguably, the premier football program in the State of Michigan and among the best in the country!

Hall of Fame Rings Reminder, Hall of Fame rings are available through Jostens of Michigan. They are available in men’s and women’s sizes. Any Hall of Fame member or inductee interested in pur- chasing a ring, or a school group wishing to purchase a ring for an inductee or member, should contact Jacob Ekkens, Jostens School Product Group, work phone (989) 615-5934, email: [email protected]

SPECIAL NOTE: When I ordered my ring I decided to get a medium size rather than a large because of the bulk of the larger ring. Also, the gem can be any color of your choice (birth stone, school col- ors, etc.). You may also get any sport you wish on the side. Mark F. Holdren
