Former Sutter coach recovering from snakebite

Former Sutter High School football coach Scott Turner is on the mend after being bitten by a rattlesnake at his home last week, a high school official said.

Superintendent-Principal Ryan Robison said Turner was bit Thursday and has been recovering since, but his prognosis is good.

"It's just an unfortunate situation, but he should be OK," Robison said.

A school official said Turner would come home today from Rideout Memorial Hospital, where he was treated for the bite.

Turner's family and hospital officials would not comment or release any information Monday.

Turner stepped down as football coach after last season, capping a career that included five Northern Section championships and 10 Butte View League titles at Sutter.
