Susan Pusey, the head coach for field hockey at Pocomoke High School has passed away at the age of 56.
The family told WBOC that she died of a blood clot while undergoing knee surgery.
She spent 22 year as head of the Warriors and pulled in 16 state championships.
That’s the second highest among the state’s public schools.
Superintendent Jerry Wilson described Pusey’s passing as devastating and shocking and pledged to help the students at the school cope with her death.
Funeral arrangements are expect to be announced today.
