Dr. Charles Pigott, a Pearl River County native, played football at PRCC from 1975-77. He was the center on the 1976 team that finished 9-1 and defeated Northwest 17-7 for the MACJC State Championship.
He was elected by his teammates as a team captain of the 1976 team. Postseason accolades included being selected to the All-Star and All-State teams along with being named as an honorable mention All-American by the NJCAA.
As a PRCC student, he was also selected a sophomore class favorite.                                                                                                                     "Charles was not only a great player for us for two years, but he was also a great student," said his PRCC coach, J.C. Arban.
Pigott continued his education and football career at Delta State University where he was a two-year starter. He graduated from DSU in 1979, before going on to the University of Mississippi Medical Center, where he earned his M.D. degree in 1985, and served his surgical internship and residency.
