"Don't Be

Coach Bob Norton passed
away in February of 2010 after a seventeen year
battle with cancer. He was a person who truly
valued life, this was evident with his ability
to fight and survive with cancer for seventeen years despite
doctors diagnosing him to only live for six
months. Coach Norton
was a elected into the Don
Bosco High School hall of fame for four sports
(basketball, baseball, football, and track). He
coached basketball, baseball, softball and
volleyball for more than fifty years and he
instilled his passion for both life and the game
within all of the players who were fortunate
enough to have him as a coach. He had an amazing
ability to bring out the best in all of his
players by finding a way to always put them in
the place they were most likely to succeed. He
was a great member of the Ducks program and had
a positive impact on many players lives, on and
off the basketball court. Coach Norton played a
major role in establishing and maintaining the
Ducks program and his efforts will never be
forgotten. His favorite quote was "Don't
be afraid to be good" and he was able to implant
this outlook within all of his players. He
believed the key to success was never being
afraid to try something new or make the play at
the end of the game but rather to enjoy and look
forward to that moment. He will always remain a
member of the Ducks program in our hearts and in
our actions. Thank you for everything Coach
Norton. |
