Don Walton

Coach Walton graduated from Harrison High School in Colorado Springs, Colorado in 1971. He was a first baseman on the baseball team. His most memorable experience in high school was batting against Goose Gossage during a game in his junior year. "I watched three hard fastballs whiz by me like virtually everyone else on the team." He was a catcher on the baseball team at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, Colorado. " At Mines, academics came first, athletics were a strong second.  We played sports for a diversion from a very tough curriculum at a very good school."  He has coached at the Little League level for several years as his two sons have gone through the program.  Most people recognize him as an umpire that has worked at the youth and high school level for twenty years.  "Working in the mining industry, umpiring was the way I stayed in contact with the game. Teaching has given me the opportunity to spend more time coaching young kids in a game that has treated me well for a number of years."  Coach Walton is excited to have the opportunity to coach young men at the junior varsity level. He hopes to provide a positive link between a player's Little League career and his varsity experience by providing consistency with the varsity program.
