Michigan High School Athletic Association, was presented the Charles E. Forsythe 
Award, inducted into the Michigan Coaches Hall of Fame and Macomb County Coaches 
Hall of Fame. In 1998 the citizens of Mt. Clemens honored coach Buckholz by 
naming the football stadium The Ernest J. Buckholz Stadium. Coach Buckholz was 
also a community leader and served as the first commander of the Ralph Bennett
