This is a tribute to one of the of the finest football coaches in the history of Ogden High School, Norris (Norrie) O. Johansen. In four years, from 1960-1964, as Ogden High's football coach, his record of 34-12-1 has never been equaled. In 1959 Ogden High won the State Championship under the coaching of Chris Apostal and won again in 1965 with Wilfred (Wilf) Christensen. The State Championship eluded him, possibly because of his strict adherence to team discipline and standards. Only those of us who were members of those teams will understand where I am coming from with this remark.
