Chris Luma spent his entire life with the Hudson Tigers, beginning as a junior high football player in 1971 and becoming a standout high school quarterback during Hudson's winning streak, including playing in Michigan's first state football final before graduating in 1977. In the early 1980s he became an assistant coach at Hudson, leading the middle school teams, and in 1997 he moved up to varsity head coach, beginning a remarkable 23-year tenure in which his smash-mouth teams, built around his beloved Winged-T formation and superb defense, won five regional crowns and eight district championships. He tied for the most playoff wins in county standings in the 46-year history of the playoffs with 28 victories, and in 2010 Hudson won the only MHSAA state football championship in school history and still the only 11-player title in Lenawee County when the Tigers beat Ishpeming 28-26 at Ford Field on Nov. 27th for the Division 7 crown, avenging the playoff loss that had ended the winning streak 35 years earlier. His dominance in the LCAA brought him 12 league championships, more than any previous LCAA coach, and from 2008-2012 the Tigers won 33 straight regular season games. He also coached two Division 7 state runner-up teams in 2003 and 2009. With steady, even-handed leadership, Luma built confidence in his teams and led Hudson to the heights of Michigan high school football. With his brother Mark beside him as assistant coach for nearly two decades, he earned numerous county, regional, and state awards, became the winningest coach in Hudson history with a 182-68 record and a 73 percent winning percentage, and in March of 2018 was inducted into the MHSFCA Hall of Fame. His 23 years leading Hudson nearly doubled the previous 12-year longevity mark, and he coached while working for Rima Manufacturing for over 40 years. He and his wife, Tonie, have four children: Sarah, Erin, Zach and Courtney.
