Brossart's Travis Norton To Sign WIth NKU

Bishop Brossart Mustangs' Senior Travis Norton will sign a letter of intent to play his college baseball with NKU.

The signing ceremony will take place this coming Thursday afternoon, March 10th at 2:20pm in Hegenaur Hall on the Brossart High School campus. The public is invited.

Travis, the son of Doug and Lyn Norton, will redshirt his freshman year while majoring in Sports Management.

He hopes to teach and coach baseball and basektball after his college playing days.

Travis Norton has played his high school baseball career at Brossart under Bob Rowe and Matt Grosser. Last year in his junior season, Travis led Northern Kentucky in hitting at .481, setting school records for most runs scored at 43 and most doubles in a season with 18. Norton is also a left-handed mainstay of the Brossart baseball pitching corps. He has his senior baseball season ahead of him. His brother Tanner is the Mustangs' varsity catcher.

Norton is a two-sport athlete, having played varsity basketball for Mike Code over the past two seasons, scoring 219 points, while averaging 9.5ppg per game his senior season.

Congrats to Travis. I know his uncle Brian was a very good baseball player, he also was a Norse.

Congratulations young man! Wish you all the best!! Take a few moments to remember the journey to this point in your life. Make sure you give your parents a big PUBLIC hug and heartfelt thanks for what they have sacrificed for you. It is so wonderful to see young men have the opportunity to continue their baseball. Have a great day on Thursday!!

Congrats to Norton. I remember Brossart's game against Ryle last season and he put on an absolute hitting clinic. I believe he hit 4 doubles, each one smoked harder than the next. He has an awesome-looking swing and great bat speed. It really was fun watching him hit, though it might have been a touch more enjoyable had some of those laser shots been hit right at Ryle's OF'ers. Best of luck to him at NKU and beyond.

BTW, not to take anything away from Norton whatsoever, but Conner Hempel was the top hitter average-wise in NKY in 2010 with a .509 average.

Not Travis's fault. I made the post and was obviously mis-informed.

Thanks for the clarification.
