The Fralic Award is given to the best two-way senior lineman in the WPIAL who exemplifies leadership & stewardship. The honor is named after the late Bill Fralic, who was named a Pennsylvania “All-Century” team lineman out of Penn Hills. After graduating in 1981, he played for the Pitt Panthers before being drafted second overall to the Atlanta Falcons in the 1985 NFL Draft. He also spent time with the Detroit Lions.
Yatchenko is a three-time first-team Big 56 offensive lineman. The Princeton football commit has also played a role on the defensive side of the ball, racking up 15 tackles. He is a multi-sport athlete who has spent time on the track and field team.
