Earlier this season, John Hill, III reached a milestone as the baseball coach at Fort Scott Community College. He notched his 500th career win – but more impressively, all the W’s have come at the same school in Bourbon County.

“It’s beyond rare to do this at the same school. People nowadays seem to ‘jump’ from place to place in an effort to chase what they think is bigger/better,” Hill said. “I never wanted to do that. I wanted to make an impact at the same school and community and that takes effort, patience, consistency and time.”
