Anniston High School longtime boys’ basketball coach Schuessler Ware had a special way with kids. And he had an even more extraordinary way with those considered difficult kids.

Now retired, Ware used that talent to mold numerous youngsters into successful adults by teaching them how to succeed. His efforts have not gone unnoticed. Ware is being inducted into the Alabama High School Sports Hall of Fame at its March 18 banquet at the Montgomery Renaissance Hotel and Convention Center. He is one of 11 in the Class of 2019.

A native of Anniston, Ware graduated from Anniston High School in 1974 and Talladega College in 1978. He earned a master’s degree in elementary education from Jacksonville State. Following his graduation from college, Ware returned to his alma mater to begin his teaching and coaching career. He remained there throughout his more than 30-year career.
