The Kosciusko Whippets have a new boys basketball coach.
Marquise Bailey was hired Monday night during a meeting of the Kosciusko School Board.
Bailey comes to Kosciusko from the Jackson Public School District where he taught physical education and helped coach basketball, tennis, track, and football.
A 2010 graduate of Jim Hill High School, Bailey graduated from Jackson State University in 2015 with a degree in sociology.
He then went on to earn his M.A. in teaching at Belhaven in 2020.
