ELIZABETHTOWN — Aking Elting has been named the varsity boys basketball coach at East Bladen High School.

Athletics director Patty Evers said the school would likely host an introductory news conference for him next week. The board of the Bladen County Schools gave its approval Monday night.

Elting has been the junior varsity coach. He will replace Kenzil McCall, who gave a resignation letter after the team concluded 4-20 this season.

McCall coached the last three years, compiling a 13-62 mark, including 8-42 in league play.

The coaching change is the fourth since the 2005-06 season. The Eagles have had just four winning seasons in that span.
