44 years of coaching has brought wins and more for Norm Hewitt.
When talking to Hillsborough High School baseball coach Norm Hewitt, he made one thing clear: His players and the game at hand was more important than the thought of his compiled wins. "Coaches don't win games, players win games," Hewitt said. Coaching for more than four decades, Hewitt gives most to the credit to his wife, Peg, who is been at his side "since I was 15 years old."
