Pearl River head basketball coach Chris Oney has named Landon Lewis, a former PRCC assistant coach, to round out his staff for the 2024-2025 season.

Lewis returns to Pearl River following a two-year stint as a graduate assistant with the Southern Miss men's basketball program. During his two years at Southern Miss, the Golden Eagles compiled a 41-24 record. During the 2022-23 season, Southern Miss earned the Sun Belt regular season title and an NIT berth. The 25 wins were the highest season win total since the 2011-12 season.

Prior to Southern Miss, Lewis was an assistant coach on Pearl River's 2021-2022 squad, which saw the Wildcats reach the NJCAA DI National Tournament following the 2022 Region 23 Tournament and MACCC Regular Season Championships.

Lewis earned Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Sports Management from Southern Miss in 2021 and 2024, respectively. Lewis graduated high school from West Lauderdale in Collinsville. He transferred to Southern Miss after earning an Associate's degree from Copiah-Lincoln Community College in 2018.

Working in the Mississippi community college system is not unique to Lewis. His mother, Amy Lewis, taught at Copiah-Lincoln for 33 years and his grandmother, Alice Pouncey, was an instructor at East Central CC for 32. Lewis's grandfather, Ken Pouncey, was the head football coach at East Central CC for 16 years.
