But he had quite a career of his own, and not just on the sidelines of football games. His only official state title actually came as a basketball coach, when he led Everett High to the 1940 championship. But Ennis also coached an Everett football team that earned a No. 1 state ranking after the 1952 season. The Herald's 1952 Man of the Year in Sports and a charter member of the State Football Coaches Hall of Fame, Ennis went on to become one the most successful and influential prep football coaches of his era. • Terry Ennis: A compassionate champion 8/3/08 • Marv Harshman: A true teacher 8/3/08 • Moving from player to coach 8/2/08 • Everett has reputation for turning out quality coaches 8/1/08 • Coaches followed in their fathers' footsteps 8/1/08 • Local coaches influenced some of nation's top players 7/31/08 • Bringing out the best 7/30/08 • Let the countdown -- and discussion -- begin 7/30/08 Click names below to read about other top coaches • 12.
