NORFOLK, Neb. -- Norfolk High School has a new head boys basketball coach, with the Panthers naming Ben Bohn to the role.

Bohn graduated from Bennington High School in 2016. He attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Mathematics.

Bohn has been at Norfolk High School for the past 2 years. During those two years he has been a math teacher, assistant football coach and assistant boys basketball coach.

Bohn previously coached football at Waverly before going on to coach basketball at Crete.

"I have had the privilege of working at some great schools and learning from some phenomenal people," Bohn said, "I have quickly learned what a special place Norfolk is. Norfolk has all the tools necessary to be successful. I am very excited to lead the basketball program in our goal of taking young boys and turning them into men who have the characteristics that they will need to be the best version of themselves in both basketball and life."

“After an extensive search, we found the best candidate to lead our boys basketball program into the future already on staff," Norfolk Activities Director John Erwin said. "We are excited to have Ben Bohn take over the boys basketball program. What Ben lacks in head coaching experience he makes up for with his energy and passion. I know Ben will take the necessary steps to build a strong foundation for our boys basketball program beginning with early elementary kids up through the high school level. Ben is committed to making the boys basketball program the best it can be while molding and developing his young athletes to be outstanding individuals on and off the court.”
