A Tribute to Coach Ernest G. Washington
By Frank H. Lee, Tuskegee Institute High School Class of 1975

The passing of Coach Ernest G. Washington marks the loss of one of Alabama's most accomplished high school coaches, educators, and mentors. His influence reached far beyond the basketball court, touching generations of students, athletes, educators, and families throughout Tuskegee, Macon County, and the State of Alabama.

For many years, Coach Washington served as Head Basketball Coach at Tuskegee Institute High School, where he helped build the Baby Tigers into one of Alabama's premier basketball programs. Between 1966 and 1991, he contributed to more than 534 career victories, including Tuskegee Institute High School’s historic 1985 Alabama High School Athletic Association Class 6A State Championship and the 1991 Class 5A State Championship. Following the 1991 championship season, he was part of a coaching staff that earned Coach of the Year honors.

A proud graduate of Alabama State University, Coach Washington was a letterman on the Hornets football team. In his early years, he served as an Assistant Football Coach at Tuskegee Institute High and became a pioneer in golf by becoming the first African American to win the Calhoun County Golf Tournament in 1972. In 1974, he established and coached Alabama's first all-Black high school golf team.

In addition to his coaching accomplishments, Coach Washington served as an Assistant Principal and Principal at Tuskegee Institute High School and Notasulga High School in Macon County, further demonstrating his commitment to educational leadership and student development.

His commitment to education continued through his service as an elected member of the Macon County Board of Education, where he worked to improve educational opportunities for students across the county.

Coach Washington's remarkable career earned him induction into the Alabama High School Athletic Association Hall of Fame and the Calhoun County Hall of Fame. He was also a proud member of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Incorporated, faithfully living its principles of Brotherhood, Scholarship, and Service.

It all started with a picture that Bennie Cooks posted. His frat brother inquired about the shirt he was wearing. From there, a stranger reached out who then became a friend, then being the "brother" I never had and his son becoming the "nephew". Byran and Grant DeGraffenreid have been such a blessing! Later I was able to meet his twin, mom, girlfriend, eldest son, and other frat members. Yesterday, Grant graduated Cum Laude from Alabama State University and of course, I am such a proud "auntie"! Congratulations to him and all the graduates! 🖤💛🐝💜💛💙🤍🥰 by @acedove1920
