Pender High athletic director stepping down, assistant takes over

PENDER COUNTY, NC (WWAY) — Pender High School’s athletic director is stepping down and will be replaced by her assistant AD.

In an e-mail to WWAY Bevin Stokes said she is stepping down effective June 30. She did not give a reason for her departure.

Stokes said Matt Davis will take over as athletic director. David is currently Pender’s head volleyball coach, head girls soccer coach and assistant AD.

Stokes is the second athletic director to leave a Pender County high school in the last week.

Last week Barry West announced his resignation from Topsail High School amid an investigation into the handling of an ineligible player that cost the Pirates baseball team a trip to the state playoffs.
