Camdenton has named Par Pitts as its next head football coach according to Camdenton Athletic Director Bill Kurtz. Pitts was approved at the Jan. 9 school board meeting.
Pitts, who served as an assistant under former head coach Jeff Shore, is a graduate of Camdenton. He won a state title with the Lakers in 1986 and ’87 as a player. Pitts had successful stints as a head coach at Palmyra, Odessa and Troy before returning to Camdenton as an assistant coach.
“Par is an organized planner who is already challenging many of our current practices in an effort to engage athletes and improve off-season participation and strengthen our athletes across both genders and all sports,” Kurtz said in a release. “He will bring a different perspective that can only improve our structures while inherently strengthening those intangibles that make Camdenton Football a unique experience for the students involved.”
