Penn-Trafford athletic director Kerry Hetrick has been named the Eastern Association of Interscholastic Football Officials High School Administrator of the Year.

The award was a pleasant surprise for Hetrick, who recently resumed working after having surgery on his neck.

The honor, the association said, is for someone in Hetrick’s position who “provides continuous teamwork, loyalty and excellence; inspires individuals or groups to high levels of accomplishments; and provides positive contributions to student-athletes on campus and within their communities.”

Hetrick, 49, who has been with Penn-Trafford since 2010, will be honored at a banquet Nov. 15 at Alpine Hunting and Fishing Club in Bridgeville.

“I am honored and it’s a privilege to work at Penn-Trafford,” Hetrick said, “and to form such great relationships with all of the wonderful people I come across on and off the field. I that feel our students at P-T are second to none.”

Herrick said he could not put in the time he does if it weren’t for the support of his wife and son.

“My family has put up with my schedule for 20 years,” he said.

Hetrick also worked as an AD at CCAC-South and Elizabeth Forward.

He also was a baseball coach at CCAC South from 1995-2001 and was the NJCAA East Regional and Rawlings Coach of the Year in 1999.

Hetrick is a member of the WPIAL basketball committee. He was inducted into the Pennsylvania Sports East Boros Chapter Hall of Fame in 2014.
