Plymouth High School has announced the appointment of Jason Breden as its new Boys Varsity Basketball Coach and Junior High Athletic Coordinator, pending school board approval Tuesday night.
Breden arrives in Plymouth with a decade of coaching experience at the high school level and a track record that includes conference championships, sectional titles, and consistent program growth across three schools.
He began his coaching career as a varsity assistant at LaVille High School from 2016 to 2021, where the program went 92-27 during his tenure, claimed the 2020 sectional championship, and won three conference titles. He then made the move to head coach, leading the Argos Dragons from 2021 to 2024 and compiling a 42-27 overall record that included the 2022 Hoosier Plains Conference Championship. Most recently, Breden served as head coach at Knox High School from 2024 to 2026, where he guided notable program growth and engineered a historic sectional upset over Winamac — that program's winningest regular-season team in school history — during the 2025-26 season.
Breden's connection to the sport runs deeper than the sidelines. As a player at LaVille under longtime head coach Michael Edison, he was part of teams that won the 2015 Bi-County Championship, the 2015 Sectional Championship, and advanced to a Regional Runner-Up finish.
Breden expressed enthusiasm about his new role. "I am blessed with the opportunity to be the next leader of Plymouth Basketball," he said. "Plymouth is an amazing community, and the historical success of the program speaks for itself. I look forward to hitting the ground running and establishing a program that will bring continual success."
Plymouth High School said it is excited about the leadership, passion, and vision Breden brings to both the basketball program and the broader athletic department.
