Meet the Coach
Griffin Dean played college baseball until an injury set him on a different path.
Coach Dean went on to work as a student assistant for three years at Graceland University before moving on to Ellsworth Community College as the assistant baseball coach. He also coached a full summer of the PCBL, a college prospect league, and is in his seventh year of coaching at BHS.
For Coach Dean, baseball is about far more than winning and losing.
“Relationships are the biggest part of high school sports,” he said. “I want to take a deep dive into the lives of these kids if they allow me to do so. Struggling in school? I can assist where needed. Struggling in life? I want to be a sounding board. Things are bigger than sports, and I want to help these kids grow into the young men they have the potential to be, regardless of wins and losses.”
