THE GREATER LANSING AREA SPORTS HALL
OF FAME
INDUCTION CEREMONY
2017
Marcelle Carruthers
Marcelle
Carruthers was a top quarterback for Lansing Eastern during his playing
days. He was not only named to the All-State Dream Teams, but he was
considered the top quarterback in the State of Michigan. He went on to
be the starting quarterback for Central Michigan University for two
years.
He
was an assistant coach at the college level. He has devoted most of
his working career to coaching, teaching and being an administrator in
the Lansing School System. He has led a number of top quality football
and track teams at Lansing Everett High School and will be the Principal
at Lansing Eastern High School starting next year.
In
his acceptance speech, he thanked his mother, who was always his number
one fan. He credited one of his coaches for instilling in him that a
coach should never try to live his life through his players. Both in
his coaching and as he hires coaches in his capacity as an
administrator, he always emphasizes this.
He
finished his speech by saying, "I believe in Lansing because Lansing
believed in me!" Our community is truly blessed to have this man
working to educate and coach our local athletes!
