Scranton Prep announced the hiring of Larry Reagan as its new varsity boys basketball coach May 28 on the athletic department’s Twitter account.

Reagan had served as a varsity assistant and junior varsity head coach during the 10-year tenure of Andrew Kettel, who resigned following the season and has since taken the position as head coach of the Keystone College men’s team.

Reagan also had assisted Kettel at Lackawanna Trail and served as a coach in the JB Hoops AAU club out of Riverfront Sports in Scranton.

“I’m excited for this new opportunity and to hit the ground running with the basketball program,” Reagan said, according to the Twitter post.

Reagan is a 2006 graduate of Scranton Prep. He becomes the 10th head coach in the 75-year history of the school’s boys basketball program.
