Bettendorf High School Activities Director Zach Shay is excited to announce the hiring of Alvin Vesey as the head coach of the Bettendorf Boys Basketball program pending board approval.
Vesey brings over 17 years of coaching experience to BHS. He has been an assistant at BHS for the last 12 years. Coach Vesey was an integral part of the Bettendorf HS 2023-24 season where the Bulldogs finished as the Mississippi Athletic Conference Champions and made it to the IHSAA State semi-finals.
“Bettendorf High School is getting an extraordinary coach and person in Alvin Vesey. Coach
Vesey bleeds Black and Gold. He was a multisport athlete at BHS playing football, basketball,
and track for the Bulldogs. His competitiveness, intensity, and passion for developing young men on and off the court is exactly what we are looking for in our next basketball coach. Alvin has a love for the game, and his plan is to continue to elevate Bettendorf Boys’ basketball to new levels of success,” Shay said. “Over the course of my time as the AD at Bettendorf High School I have been impressed with Alvin’s approach to building an elite culture and his desire to fully immerse himself in all corners of the Bulldog Nation. “I could not be more excited about the
future of our boys’ basketball program.”
Alvin is a 2003 Bettendorf High School graduate and earned his bachelor’s degree in physical
education from the University of Northern Iowa where he also played football for the Panthers.
Alvin and his wife, Lona, have three children, Aliviona 14, Alvin III 12, and Ariah 8.
