Enrietto awarded for football coverage
The Butler Football Hometown Hero award honors individuals who have made an impact on the high school's program over the years.
When this year's honoree spoke at a Friday evening ceremony to accept the award, it could have been mistaken for a ceremony honoring the leaders of the program instead.
Butler Eagle Sports Editor John Enrietto is this year's Hometown Hero. Now in his 25th year with the paper, Enrietto said it is the coaches and players who not only make his job possible, but a privilege to perform.
“This school is fortunate to have not just the quality of coaches, but the quality of people they have coaching kids here,” Enrietto said. “Every coach I have dealt with here is first-class ... They put the trust in me to do right by the kids.”
After a brief indoor ceremony, Enrietto proceeded to the football field, where he was recognized by the stadium, right before moving on to his usual duties of covering the game.
