Butte High is in the market for a new baseball coach.

Jim LeProwse, who led the Bulldogs since its first season in 2023, submitted his resignation, Butte High activities director Travis Johnson announced this morning. The resignation has been formally approved by the school board.

The Bulldogs qualified for the state tournament three out of four of LeProwse’s seasons at the helm. Butte High placed third at this year’s Class AA State tournament, giving the school its first baseball trophy.

“With the introduction of high school baseball in Montana, Coach LeProwse played an integral role in launching and building the Butte High program,” Johnson said in a statement. “His leadership, dedication, and commitment to the athletes helped establish a strong foundation for future generations of Bulldog baseball players.

“The Butte High Athletic Department and the Butte School District’s administrative team extend their sincere appreciation to Coach LeProwse for his years of service and the lasting impact he has made on the program. His efforts have set the stage for continued growth and success.

“I will personally miss working with Coach LeProwse and wish him the very best in his future endeavors.”

LeProwse is still coaching the Butte Miners. He is in his sixth year leading the top team of the Butte American Legion program. He guided the Miners to the 2022 Class A State title and Northwest Regional championships.
