Kentlake has hired Godfrey Drake to take over as head boys basketball coach according to Bruce Rick, the school’s athletic director, who made the announcement Wednesday.

Drake has worked as an assistant coach at Green River Community College the past four years. The Mississippi native had previously coached AAU basketball in his home state.

He played college hoops at Southern Mississippi University, a Division I program, followed by a short stint in the European League.

Drake takes over for Ron Charrier whose contract was not renewed after the season ended in February.
