Worcester State has hired Al Pettway as their new head men’s basketball coach. He will replace Tyler Hundley, who took over at Nichols College back on 5/16.

Pettway, a WSU alum, has most recently led Worcester North High School to back-to-back Massachusetts D1 State Championships. He is also Worcester State’s all-time leading scorer with 2,205 points.

The veteran coach has been at Worcester North since 2002, and also served stints as an assistant at both Worcester State and nearby Assumption College following his graduation.

An official announcement is expected shortly,
