TAFCA to Present 2011 Power of Influence Award to

Lowell Head Coach, Noel Dean

Noel Dean, 2011 POI Recipient

Noel was nominated for the Power of Influence Award by the MHSFCA in recognition of the tremendous impact Coach Dean and the Lowell football program, under his direction, have had on the community of Lowell and on the State of Michigan. In addition to putting together a highly successful football program (three state championships in eight years: 2002, 2004 and 2009), the Lowell football team and coach Dean have been awarded our Steve Spicer Memorial Leadership Award twice: 1999 and 2009 for the community service they have performed. Noel Dean’s Lowell football teams have raised $900,000 in the past four years through their Pink Arrow Pride Project to support cancer patients and their families. They are responsible for the building of a Gilda’s Club home in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Gilda’s Clubs “create welcoming communities of free support for everyone living with cancer - men, women, teens and children - along with their families and friends. The program is an essential complement to medical care. Gilda’s Clubs pro-vide networking and support groups, workshops, edu-cation and social activities.” Coach Dean’s teams have also given financial support to 75 families to help them through the active stages of cancer and have put exten-sive programs in place in their schools to educate stu-dents about cancer prevention and understanding. Thanks to the leadership of Coach Noel Dean, thousands of Lowell athletes, the community of Low-ell, and the State of Michigan have a fine model of what responsible citizens can accomplish through community service. All this community service has not hindered the Red Arrows’ performance on the field. During Coach Dean’s 15 years at Lowell, they are 153-27, i addition to three state titles they were also runners-up once and have made 12 straight playoff appearances (13 total) and won six league championships.

What does the Power of Influence Award mean?

from Ron Stolski,Brainerd, MN Head Football Coach 2005 Power of Influence Award recipient

Executive Director Minnesota Football Coaches Association

Being a recipient of the POI was one of the greatest honors I have ever been privileged to receive. In a real sense, it is an indication of what, in my mind, makes coaching such a noble profession in that it is a recognition of contribu-tions over and beyond one’s coaching record. More it is a reflection of the contribution(s) one can make about life’s lessons that are so important in our teaching. Coaching is about relationships. When we choose a life in coaching, we choose to try to make a difference in the lives of the people we touch. Being honored with the POI award, while not something any coach seeks, is a validation that coaching the “game within the game” is an important function of the mission all coaches share. The fact that one of our fraternity is recognized by the AFCA does not diminish in any way the contributions made by so many daily, but remains an award of which, singularly, one can be so very, and rightly, PROUD!

F Recent additions to the MHSFCA.com web site incudes recruiting webinars designed for athletes and their parents and for coaches, counselors and AD’s.

MHSFCA Recruiting Committee Agenda

From Jack Fairly, Recruiting Committee Chair

MHSFCA on the WebMHSFCA.com

he MHSFCA.com web site continues to evolve. One of the recent additions has been the inclu-sion of recruiting information in the form of “webinars,” recorded presentations dealing

with the recruiting process. There are two “webinars” one designed to be watched by athletes and their parents, the other designed for coaches, counselors and AD’s. These webinars contain up-to-date information and address misconceptions and misunderstandings about the require-ments and process of recruiting. They should be required viewing by all of us.

Also available at MHSFCA.com The “Prospect Information Form” (http://www.mhsfca.com/?p=1662) designed by the recruiting com-mittee to collect information on your college prospects so that we can pass it on to Michigan’s college coaches. Clicking on the “Coaching Placement” tab at will allow you to post your résumé, and search for available coaching and teaching jobs. *We need your email address on file with your membership information for you to access this potion of the web site. Many other resources are available at MHSFCA.com, be sure to click through the pages on a regular basis.

Wall of Fame Web Site

or many many years the MHSFCA has sought a Hall of Fame, a place to display the accomplish-ments of our members and of the Association itself. Two years ago, we made the decision

to create this Hall of Fame online. That has been accom-plished. You can find the “Virtual” Hall of Fame by going to MHSFCA.com and clicking on “Hall of Fame.” Once on the Virtual Hall of Fame web site, you can review old newsletters (1973-2006, 2007-2011 newsletters are at MHSFCA.com), read the biographies of previous all star game participants, find previous Hall of Fame coaches including photos and, starting with the class of 2011, videos of their acceptance speeches. Other award winners are still being added, i.e. Honorary members, Crowley Award winners, Leadership Award winners, etc. Check back regularly. The virtual Hall of Fame also includes a calendar (under “Events”) listing MHSFCA meetings and events.

Build the Recruiting Fairs & Seminars: Establish a central location to bring the HS and college coach together in a setting efficient, cost effective and ben-eficial to all parties. We can not ask our college coaches to visit 5-6 high schools a day given the limited time, money and resources of the DII and DIII schools. The student athlete will also benefit from more college opportunities. Over the last three years, our fairs have averaged 16 high schools represented and 21 colleges.

MHSFCA 2012 Clinic Kickoff the Clinic Friday morning with the College Head Coaches Recruiting Panel. Head Coaches Brady Hoke, Mark Dantonio, Keith Otterbein, Jim Lyall, and Jim Cole have committed to this very important session. We encour-age all coaches to attend.

Prospectsa. Submit all JUNIOR PROSPECTS (Class of 2013) to Collegiate Sports Data: Collegiate Sports Data is the one recruiting system used by practically every college across the country. Every HS Head Coach should put their col-lege prospects on this list. The CSD report is one of the first sources used to research college prospects. Web site -http://www.csdsurvey.com/CSD_Info.asp

b. Submit all college prospects to the MHSFCA Prospects List: This year will be our first published list of college prospects for our state. Submit game tapes to the college coaches for juniors at the end of their JUNIOR season.

College Prep Football Camps Promote the MHSFCA College Prep Football Camps. The purpose of these camps is to allow the college coaches to teach and prepare the student athletes for the DI football camps. We will be searching for sites for the camps this fall and have the location/s and information available at the Recruiting Fairs and at the State Clinic in Kalamazoo.

Recruiting Fairs & Seminars Fairs: 3:30 - 6:30 PM: Each HS will have a table. Only the HS coach is allowed to meet the college coaches at this time.

Seminars: 6:00 - 7:00 PM: Free to all student athletes seek-ing a college athletic career. We encourage ninth graders to attend, since the most important high school report card is the first semester, ninth grade year.

Seniors: 7:00 PM: Seniors can meet the college coaches following the seminar.

Steve Spicer Leadership Award

The Steve Spicer Memorial Team Leadership Award was inaugurated in 1999 by the Michigan High School Football Coaches Association. The award honors high schools throughout the State of Michigan who exemplify the legacy left to us by Steve Spicer, the former head football coach at Fowler High School. Steve was an outstanding coach, teacher, husband, father and community leader before his untimely battle with cancer took him from us. Steve who is a member of our Football Coaches Hall of Fame, had an outstanding coaching record along with capturing a state football title while at Fowler. More importantly however, is the fact that he was a great role model for the players he coached and the students he taught.

Second Annual Clinic Slated For January 25-26, 1974

he Michigan High School Football Coaches Asso-ciation’s Second Annual Clinic will be January 25 and 26, 1974 at Portage Northern High School in Kalamazoo. The first clinic in 1973 was a huge success with over 800 in attendance. It is hoped

the clinic in 1974 will be even larger. Clinic Director, Jeff Smith of East Lansing reported the highlights of the 1974 clinic. Again the agenda of speakers will be primarily composed of high school coaches. Many of these speak-ers are drawn from the ranks of the “Regional Coaches of The Year.” The feeling is that high school coaches tend to present material more adaptable to the high school coaching situation. All the “Regional Coach of The Year” winners will be awarded beautiful framed foil certificates before noon at an awards ceremony on Saturday. The Class A, B, C, and D State “Coaches Of The Year” will be honored and awarded their trophies at the Saturday noon luncheon. Free luncheon tickets are given to the first 500 clinic reg-istrants. Preregistration is $6.00 which entitles one to the clinic sessions, with the first one starting at 6:30 - 10:15 p.m. on

Friday, January 25. At the door registration will be $8.00. There will be door prizes and a free hospitality and snack session Friday night A general business meeting will be held where several constitutional amendments will be presented and voted on. There will be an election of Directors and a Second Vice-President. The last clinic session will end at 3:30 p.m. Saturday afternoon. Some of you may be concerned with the gas stations closing at 9:00 p.m. Saturday. With the clinic out at 3:30 you will have a good 5 hours of driving time before you fill up at 9:00 to finish your journey home. Many of you may have read Joe Falls article in the Detroit Free Press about his trip to Traverse City and how he went from Traverse City to Detroit without any gas difficulty on Sunday on one tank of gas. So MHSFCA Clinic 1 - Gas Shortage 0.

he 31st installment of the MHSFCA All Star Game saw the East All Stars win in an exciting game. The 31st MHSFCA All Star Game was an enjoyable experi-ence for the coaches, players, and support staff who spent a week preparing. I would like to congratulate both teams for a well played game, and

congratulate the East All Stars for their victory. Both coaching staffs did a tremendous job preparing throughout the year for the game, and their conduct during the week was exemplary. I would also like to thank all MHSFCA regional directors, and All Star Committee members who donated their time to make the game possible: Troy Nezki, Tim Parker, and Craig Healy. I would also like to thank CMU and head coach Dan Enos for hosting this year’s game.
