    Norbie Danz’s Life Defined the Meaning of ‘Coach’

    BY JEFF FALK For most people, ‘coach’ is a noun. But it is a word that can also be used as a salutation, a prefix or a title to show respect, similar to Mr. and Mrs., or Sir and Madam. Because once a coach, always a coach. Few people from Lebanon County have ever epitomized […]

    Chris Pope Placed on His Own Personal Stamp on Palmyra Football Program

    BY JEFF FALK Many times, an athletic program will take on the personality – the character – of its head coach. That was certainly true of the Palmyra football program.

  • “Fundamentally, he was the best. Everything was so organized. He wasn’t a guy who was rah-rah. But his teams were so prepared. I always thought that’s what differentiated him from other coaches. If you played or coached for Norb, you learned a lot. But when the game was over, the game was over.”

    – Frank Hetrick on Norbie Danz

  • “For the most part, every year that was one of our trademarks. We worked hard, tried to get better every week and re-evaluated. You can’t stop working and you’ve got to instill that mindset into your players. As coaches you have to ask yourselves, ‘Do we have them in the best possible places to succeed?’

    – Lebanon Valley Women’s Basketball Coach Diane Decker
