On March 10th, 2011
Travis Norton
signed a letter of
intent to play his
college baseball at
NKU.
  Travis played varsity basketball for
Mike Code's Mustangs from 2008
through 2011.
During the timespan his teams
won 52-38 and were 10th Region
"A" Champs in 2010 and 2011.
Travis put up 417 points, while
contributing in 74 games.

In his senior season, Travis'
numbers were third only to Zach
Fardo and 1,000 Points Club and
10th Region Hall of Famer, Justin
Saunders.

Travis was famous for wearing the
green power sleeve, and is shown in
the photo at far right with his brother
Tanner, during introductions.
The Nortons  -  Doug, Tanner, Travis, Lynn, and James Russell
  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"
