On Wednesday afternoon, Ellsworth High School announced in a statement that Jeff Landon would be taking over as head boy's basketball coach for the 2024-25 season pending board approval.
Landon, a 1984 Bearcat alum, returns to Ellsworth after ten years coaching college basketball at Sterling College.
He takes the reigns from Brett Rolfs, who served as head coach from 2022-2024.
Prior to his time coaching at the college level, Landon served as assistant girls' basketball coach at Ellsworth High School.
"We are excited to welcome Coach Landon back to the Bearcat family," Ellsworth AD Ron Davis said. "Coach is a fundamental teacher of the game, and brings both leadership and strong ties to Ellsworth basketball."
The Bearcats finished their most recent campaign 19-5, falling in the opening round of this year's 3A state basketball tournament.
