PHSCoachD Posted August 3, 2019 Posted August 3, 2019 I’m sorry to pass this news on, but long-time Providence Football Coach Gene Sartini has passed away today. The impact he has had on the lives of his former players can never be measured! May he rest in eternal peace! Coach Denison Quote
SPARKS Posted August 3, 2019 Posted August 3, 2019 Gene Sartini, Providence Football coach for 40 years. 268 wins, two state title game appearances, and thousands of adoring players, parents, fans and family. Godspeed, Coach. Quote
Guest DT Posted August 5, 2019 Posted August 5, 2019 Condolences to the family and friends of Coach Sartini. Coach is the Uncle of my best high school buddy, Frank Sartini, who was a key member of our undefeated 1978 Highland Trojans football team. Frank was a regular 2 way player at running back and free safety, and we lost him to a broken ankle in week 3 in a rugged 10-7 win over a very solid Bishop Noll team. I never met Coach Sartini, but was very close with his younger brother Larry, Frank's dad. Attached is a classic photo of the two Sartini brothers when they were stationed in Germany. God bless the Sartini's and comfort them in their loss. Quote
Impartial_Observer Posted August 5, 2019 Posted August 5, 2019 Sorry to hear of Coach Sartini's passing. Good coach, when I was on the sidelines I always enjoyed having his sidelines. His teams were always physical, well prepared, and very disciplined. Quote

"The amazing thing is you could ask any one of his former players in the 40 years that he was coaching here and they would tell you the same statement. It says a lot about the man — how great of a man he was and great of a coach he was." I'd second Larry's statement. My son played for him and coached for him, he would not be half the man he has grown to be without Coach Sartini's guidance. Quote
