| Travis Norton showed up in our gym one evening, answering an ad we had placed in the local newspaper advertising our Summer Youth Basketball camps and Open Gyms. He had grown up in the Simon Kenton system, having competed at Twenhofel through his junior high years. He, and his brother Tanner, who would write his own chapter in our history books, and follow his brother to Brossart, lived in Morningview, Ky., which, as the crow flies via the Al Schneider Bridge, is just a stones throw from Brossart High School. After spending some time with our players and coaches throughout the summer, Travis elected to cast his lot with the Brossart Mustangs. Travis became a four year varsity starter with the Brossart Baseball Mustangs. His first high school home run came in his Freshman year versus Scott in the district tournament - his first post-season game. Norton posted a career pitching record of 12-5, including 4 complete games, an ERA under 4.0, with 20 starts, 91 2/3 innings pitched, striking out 62. Travis was a prolific hitter, among the leaders in Northern Kentucky as a junior, averaging .483. That same year he accumulated 18 doubles, a school record which still stands, and stood alone until brother Tanner tied that mark two years later as a junior. He was responsible for 59 RBIs his junior and senior seasons and 6 home runs under Head Coach Matt Grosser. During Travis' high school baseball career he contributed to 76 wins, while his teams took 59 losses. They would be four time 10th Region All "A" Champions and in 2011 were State "A" Sectional Champions, defeating Danville 3-2 at Florence Freedom Park and went on to become All "A" State Runners-up. Travis was fortunate to play alongside a who's who of talented Mustangs including his brother Tanner a MLB draftee, Zach Fardo, who played his college career at Thomas More, Jake Ollier, Ian Hehman, Trevor Bezold, Jared Hahn - Asbury College, Nick Hamberg, Dylan Embs, and Nate Verst who would go 10-0 the following year, and went on to play college baseball at Kentucky Wesleyan. Together they went 24-13 during Travis' senior year. Many of those same Mustangs would go on to win the 10th Region Championship and play into the semi-finals of the KHSAA "Sweet Sixteen" State Baseball Tournament a year later. |
| While his brother Tanner would acquire the nickname of "Big Cat", Travis was simply known as "Bob" |
