Hunting Hills Lightning head coach Kyle Sedgwick has been named the Laurie Robertson tier II high school football coach of the year by Football Alberta.

Sedgwick, who took over the Lightning in 2009, has posted a 34-6-1 record and won two Central Alberta championships, including the 2012 title.

Sedgwick took the Lightning to the provincials for the first time in 2010 and last year reached the tier II semifinals.

The hard-working Sedgwick is one of a few coaches to receive the top award while not reaching the provincial final.

Darcy Ogonoski, who led Austin O’Brien to the tier II championship, was named the Norm Kimball coach of the year while David Diliuzio of Calgary’s Notre Dame was the tier I coach of the year.

Rob McNab and Bruce O’Neil of Cochrane High School shared the tier III coach of the year award while the tier IV award went to Ken Fournier of Drumheller. Al Cooper of the Calgary Cowboys was the top bantam coach and Remo Cardone of the Cowboys the atom/peewee coach of the year.
