Kidd Steps Down as George Wythe Football Coach
Wytheville coach Bill Kidd resigns after five seasons with a 22-27-1 record, citing burnout and a desire to spend time with his 32-year-old daughter. He notes program challenges from small enrollment, injuries, and lack of a sustained weight program, and will stay on as English teacher while assisting next season. Donnie Pruitt is named as a favored successor by locals.
