During that time, he was honored as the Mountain Valley Conference Coach of the Year in both seasons.

 

In addition to his coaching responsibilities, Paxton is entering his fifth year in education. He holds endorsements in Physical Education and Health and currently serves as a Physical Education teacher at Sheldon High School.
