LAURINBURG — After going 6-17 in the 2024-2025 season, the Scotland Fighting Scots have announced Jarvis Cobb as their new head coach of the varsity boys’ basketball team.

Cobbs is excited to get started and is looking forward to taking over as the Scotland High basketball team’s new head coach.
“I’m honored and excited to lead the boys Scotland High basketball program,” said Cobb. “I look forward to building on the school’s proud athletic tradition and helping our student-athletes grow as players and as people.”
