PNFOA Turns 50 (posted 11/22/2011)
Members, alumni and special guests of the Pacific Northwest Football Officials Association gathered on Monday evening November 21st to celebrate a milestone in football officiating in greater Seattle area. With the ending of the 2011 high school football season it marked the end of the 50th year of service on the field for the PNFOA.

To commemorate the milestone, the PNFOA inducted into it's inaugural class of the "PNFOA Hall of Fame" five alumni who have gone on to bigger and brighter officiating careers. Being inducted into the class of 2011 were;

Bill Fette
Francis W. “Pop” Hagerty
Charlie Moffett
Tom Sifferman
Jack Sprenger

All these men began officiating with the PNFOA, and have since retired from the sport. But all still love the game and are involved in many off-field capacities. Look for bios and photos coming soon.

Caping off the evening events was our special guest keynote speaker Dr. Jim Tunney. The former NFL, and 3-time Superbowl Referee spoke to those in attendance about integrity, honesty and leaving the game better after you've gone. It was an inspiring speech, and a night to remember.

As you can imagine the face of football has changed quite a bit over the past 50 years. Football today looks quite a bit different than 50 years ago. Players are bigger, strong, faster. Coaching is far more complex, and the game itself is bigger and more popular than ever. Friday nights have never been so much fun!

On behalf of all the officials who have served in our association over the past 50 years, we say THANK YOU. Thank you to the coaches, parents, educators, students, game administrators, security and everyone else who have helped make the past 50 years a success for all the kids. The PNFOA looks forward to the next 50 great years!
