New East
Carolina football coach Scottie Montgomery continued the building of his
staff on Friday with the hiring of one of the most successful high
school coaches in North Carolina as running backs coach.
Antonio King will take charge of the Pirates' runners after guiding
Durham Hillside to six straight PAC-6 titles, a run which started
when his 2010 Hornets team won the 4A State Championship with a
perfect 16-0 record.
King
was named league coach of the year after each of the past six
seasons and was twice named Durham Herald-Sun coach of the
year.
King served as an
assistant coach for the victorious North Carolina team in the 2015
Shrine Bowl of the Carolinas. The Tar Heels defeated the South
Carolina Sandlappers 54-39 in the annual clash of the best prep
players from both states
In a
press release, Montgomery praised King's track record of molding
players for success.
"Antonio's history
developing student-athletes and leading young men is unparalleled,"
Montgomery said. "His ability to communicate, encourage and motivate
is well-documented through the success of all the players he's
touched.
"My respect for high
school coaches in the state of North Carolina runs deep and
Antonios addition to our staff is a testament to that.
Before succeeding Ray
Harrison as Hillside's head coach in 2009, King served as the
Hornets' offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.
A
North Carolina Central alum, King played quarterback in the college
ranks, logging stints at both Howard and NCCU.
King joins
nine previously-announced staff hires since
Montgomery's
appointment to succeed Ruffin McNeill as head coach of the Pirates:
Offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach
Tony Petersen (previously
served in that same capacity at Louisiana Tech)
Defensive coordinator
Kenwick Thompson (previously served as
Vanderbilt associate head coach
and linebackers coach)
Offensive line coach Geep Wade (previously served in the same role
at Middle Tennessee State)
Defensive line coach Deke Adams (previously served in the same role
at South Carolina)
Wide receivers coach Phil McGeoghan (previously served in the same
role for the Miami Dolphins)
Secondary coach Rick Smith (previously served as defensive
coordinator and secondary coach on former ECU coach Ruffin McNeill's
staff)
Special teams coach Shannon Moore (previously served as special
teams coach at Florida International)
Assistant athletics director for football operations Terrell Smith
(previously served as
director of football operations at Duke)
Director of player
personnel
Ethan Johnson
(previously served as Duke's assistant director of player personnel)
