 COACH HARVEY PATTON Sponsored by Earnest Collins, Jr. Coach Harvey Patton is a beloved member of the Northern Colorado family. Patton was a much-decorated fullback for the Bears. He was a first-team all-conference performer as a senior in 1993. He was a team captain as both a junior and a senior. He was voted the Most Valuable Player as well as its Most Inspirational, by his teammates. A four-year letterwinner, he played on two NCAA Division II Playoff teams during the 1990 and 1991 seasons. Immediately after earning his degree, Patton joined Coach Joe Glenn on the Northern Colorado coaching staff, where he spent a number of years coaching various positions. Coach Patton followed Coach Glenn to the University of Wyoming, where he coached for four seasons. However, Patton's life changed on April 10, 2008. In snowy conditions on Highway 287 in Colorado, his car slid into oncoming traffic. Following the accident, in which Patton broke both of his legs and suffered severe internal injuries, he spent four months in a coma. Patton currently resides in Denver with his parents, Harvey Sr. and Alexine. |
