What will the world look like without the Farmington Hills Harrison football program? Herrington and the football program have been the face of the school for nearly five decades. The team has won 13 state championships, the most of any program in the history of high school football in Michigan.

But while being able to relive the past, not looking forward to a future for Harrison football beyond this year will be hard for anyone to imagine.

FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. – The football field at Harrison High School bears his name, which is fitting considering John Herrington represents Harrison Hawks football, and has for five decades. John Herrington came to Harrison High School when it was first built back in 1970. “I didn’t start out trying to break records,” Herrington said. Friday he goes for win number 431 against Berkely which would make him the winningest coach in Michigan prep history. Harrison High School is closing after the 2018-2019 season and that’s when Herrington plans to retire.
