PISGAH, Ala. — Rainsville native Luke Pruitt was named Head Coach for the Pisgah Eagles earlier today.

Pruitt has recently served under his father, Dale Pruitt, as defensive coordinator at Albertville High School. Pruitt obtained his degree at Jacksonville State University in Secondary Education. He is married to Laura Glover Pruitt and they have three sons: Hudson, J.C., and Spencer (and soon to be baby Pruitt #4).

In a twist of fate, the position of Head Coach at Pisgah was formerly filled by his dad, Dale.

Congratulations to Luke, his family and the Pisgah Eagles!
