Ellsworth Names Landon Boys Basketball Coach

Pending approval from the USD 327 Board of Education, Jeff Landon has been named the new head coach of the Ellsworth boys basketball program.

Landon has previous coaching experience at the collegiate level for ten years and prior to that served as an assistant with the Ellsworth girls basketball team for four seasons.

“We are excited to welcome Coach Landon back to the Bearcat family,” said Athletics Director Ron Davis. “Coach is a fundamental teacher of the game of basketball, brings leadership and strong ties back to Ellsworth.”

Landon takes over the boys program from Brett Rolfs who stepped down earlier this month after two seasons at the helm.  Ellsworth went 31-14 in that time, including a 19-5 season in 2023-24 with a 3A State Tournament appearance.
