Dear Paula and kids:
So sorry to hear about Coach Pruitt. Our family has so many wonderful memories of Coach at Powell Valley High School! And I remember babysitting the kids!
May he rest in peace.
Toni Trigiani
Coach Pruitt knew if you had it in you to excel ..He brought it out. He knew all his Students Abilities and short falls he would Say you got this grade in my class.. Let's see if we can do better and how can I help you to bring it up.. I know you can do this. He took the time to mentor and cheer on each one of his Students. He made you reach down deep so you could achieve all he knew you could be. He was tuff and to the point and helped many to go on and become accomplished adults. He made everyone at George Wythe High School who knew him Proud to be a Maroon. We shined and won Championships but it was because of him that we had someone who believed in us believed that together we would dominate the field. And yes.. He came at us hard both in the Classroom and as a Coach for he knew what we could do if we put aside our doubts and put our minds and will into it. He knew what we could do and be before we did. What he did was allow us all to be better prepared for the world and what it would bring. I hope he knew that for so many many years he was our World. It was a Honor and Privilege to know him as a student at George Wythe High School.. My Deepest Condolences goes out to the Family.
I’m so sorry to Preston, and the entire family. Coach Pruitt was a great Coach, I had the privilege to be one of his students and he was teaching, he always had a smile, and he talked some Football too! He will definitely be missed by many people who loved him! So I’m sure going to miss you Coach ! GO GW
