Coach Patton surpasses 400 wins at Bozeman
PANAMA CITY, Fla. (WMBB) – Bozeman High School Baseball Coach Jeff Patton notched his 400th win over spring break, earning all of his victories as the leader of the Bucks.
Since 2006, Patton has led the Bucks to 10 district championships, six Final Four appearances, two state finals, and 17 consecutive playoff appearances.
'It's unbelievable,' Patton said. 'Part of it means I'm old, I've just been doing it a long time. But the consistency that we've had in this program over the last 20 years is, you know, I don't think a lot of places can say that they've done what we've done. And coaches don't last 20 years anymore in one place. So, to be able to do that, it's something to be super proud of. And the kids that helped me start this thing way back when, you know, they just wanted to be a part of something.'
