We’ve lost another coach

You’ve probably heard by now that Stan Pulliam, the former basketball coach of Campus and Valley Center, has died — here’s Jonathan’s story. His son, Kip, is the Heights girls coach. He was 65.
There’s been so many coaches and family members of coaches die recently — Hanston football coach Jerry Slaton, the father-in-law of Southeast athletic director and track coach Mark Lamb, the father of Collegiate tennis coach Dave Hawley, now Stan Pulliam.
Please accept my condolences to all who have lost a loved one.

Stan Pulliam’s service was today. Kip Pulliam had a very hard time although he did deliver a very moving speech about his dad. You could tell this man was everything to him. He was doing very well until his players got up to address him. I think it was great for him for those girls to be there and it was not just the current team either. Lane Lord was there to offer support along with girls from past teams like Copeland, Ellis, etc. I say this to Kip. I know your dad in the stand represented safety and security for you but now that his physical presence is gone, he will have a spiritual prescence in your heart and give you more strength than you could ever imagine.
