Ijustwatch Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 I met Barry Norton a few times while he was at Orange. Showing my age. But I always thought he was going to be a Good Head Coach. And he has been. Good luck on retirement coach Norton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still doesn’t change the way most THS fans felt about him personally. More to life than a win-loss record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he’s holding the program hostage from moving forward until he decides what he wants to do…… Seems legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bordertown Posted April 25, 2022 Author Share Posted April 25, 2022 I believe he was employed 5 years on the Arkansas side which allowed him to qualify for a pension from Arkansas on top of his Texas pension. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know his son is coaching at Duke now for Elko who used to be at A&M so being free to travel out there on the weekends probably had a little to do with it.

He turned around a T High program that was in struggling. Maybe the expectations at A High never materialized like some people thought. A lot of that had to do with losing kids to other schools.

RogerDorn Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Arkansas High had no business getting beat by Hope or having to beat De queen on last play of game. De queen .... I thought they quit football and were soccer only out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tex85 Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 i know if you live on the Texas side you can "apply" to go to any of the schools on the Texas side, but do you have to live on the Arkansas side to go to school over there? also i realize there are kids that live on the arkansas side that go to PG,T-High and probably LE. i just don't think I've ever really heard of anyone living on the Texas side and going to ark high, well there may have been a rb from one the schools that supposedly graduated from there but not sure where he lived.
