Heck named head coach at North Allegheny

Andrew Heck

Wild Things left fielder Andrew Heck has been hired as the head baseball coach at North Allegheny High School.

Though in his fifth season as a player in the Frontier League, Heck also has been a high school baseball coach for the past four seasons at Sewickley Academy. He had a 39-27 record at Sewickley Academy and led the Panthers to the WPIAL semifinals and state tournament in 2014.

At North Allegheny, Heck will be reunited with former Wild Things manager Bob Bozzuto, who is NA’s athletic director. Heck succeeds Andy Maddix, who resigned after this past season.

North Allegheny is one of the top baseball programs in western Pennsylvania as the Tigers were 142-54 in nine seasons with two WPIAL championships under Maddix.

Heck has worked in various capacities for the North Allegheny athletic department the past few years.
