Antonio Pittman’s role as a West Hall Spartan has been increasing ever since he first stepped onto the field in Oakwood. Coach Tony Lotti worked with the senior running back this summer to help him get more prepared to enter a number of tough battles in Region 7-AAA, and he believes Pittman is ready to take on the responsibilities of a key player in West Hall’s lineup. “We had to push him out of his comfort zone some to help him work on the mental aspect, and he’s improved a lot in the offseason,” Lotti said.
