Former Pattonsburg R-2 coach Jeff Bowland was named to the 2020 Missouri Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Fame Class in March 2020, but the induction ceremony was canceled due to COVID.
This year’s induction ceremony, which will be held in October in Springfield, will now include both the Class of 2020 and the Class of 2021. Coach Bowland was one of 10 inductees honored for 2020.
Coach Bowland, who passed away in 2013, left his mark on high school basketball in the state of Missouri, capturing well over 600 wins while coaching both girls and boys. His tenure from 1981 to 2013 at Pattonsburg included several tournament titles, six district championships, one Final Four trip and several all-state players. He also coached football, track and softball.
Pattonsburg High School also recognized Coach Bowland’s contributions to the basketball program and community by naming the basketball court after him.
