Greenbrier Class of 1966
Nine punt-return touchdowns
The Hall identifies Pitt as an All-Red River Valley Conference and All-Mid-State football player and credits him with nine punt-return touchdowns during his Greenbrier career. The captain register lists him with Butch Williams and Kim Parker in 1965.
The Carroll–Pitt Trophy
Two rivals remembered together
The Hall says Pitt enlisted in the Marine Corps in May 1968 and was killed by enemy artillery in Vietnam that August. Springfield athlete Dwight Carroll, also a Marine, was killed in Vietnam after the two had become friends through competition.
American Legion Post 45 and Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2120 established the Carroll–Pitt Trophy in their honor. It is awarded in the Greenbrier–Springfield football rivalry, carrying both names forward.
