Park High Head Boys Soccer Coach Jeff Dickerson has retired. He made his decision last week, tendered his resignation on March 26th, and met with the team on Monday to inform them of his retirement.

Dickerson is a coaching legend. He is known and respected throughout the State of Montana as a coach, and he his revered by those who have had the honor of playing for him. He is also well known for the 30-plus years he’s put into the game as a referee.

Many local residents know him simply as Jeff, and some remember Dickerson as the kind veterinarian who cared for their pets, horses, and livestock.

I have known him as Coach. For four years, I’ve had the pleasure of covering Dickerson and the Park High-Sweet Grass Ranger soccer teams, and along the way, Coach has become a friend.
