Watauga football coach resigns

From staff reports, Watauga Democrat

BOONE - Watauga football coach Tim Pruitt officially handed in his letter of resignation as teacher and head football coach at Watauga High School Monday.

Pruitt, who was coach at Watauga from 2008-2011, talked to his players Thursday, but took the weekend to make his final decision before making his departure official. He led Watauga to a 7-6 record last season and the second round of the playoffs.

Pruitt said the main reason for him leaving is so his wife can move closer to her family. That place is Cherryville, where they met when he was the head coach at Cherryville High School in 2002.

Pruitt would not say if he had a job lined up in the Cherryville area.To read this entire article, click here!
