Don Reeves steps down as PHS head football coach
Don Reeves stepped down as Parkersburg High School’s head football coach earlier today.
Wood County Schools Superintendent John Flint confirmed Reeves had resigned his position as PHS football coach and said no hearing would be scheduled for Monday.
The community had speculated an employee hearing would be held after a flier was circulated saying Reeves was to be terminated. Officials have said the flier did not come from Wood County Schools.
“Don came to my office this morning and submitted his resignation,” said Flint. “I then called PHS Principal Kenny DeMoss and let him know, as well as the board members.”
Reeves’ resignation will take effect May 9, and the football job will be posted the next day.
Taking over for Bernie Buttrey after the 2009 season, Reeves went 35-38 over seven years with the program. The Big Reds finished 4-6 this season.
