Former longtime Haughton High Coach Bob Brotherton has died, according to a post on the Haughton High School Football Facebook page.

Brotherton is the father of Parkway Head Coach Coy Brotherton and former Haughton Head Coach Jason Brotherton, now an assistant principal at the school.

His wife, Billie Jo Brotherton, represents District 1 on the Bossier Parish School Board.

Brotherton was also a former president of the Bossier Parish Police Jury.

Brotherton is the second legendary Haughton coach to pass away recently. Will Marston, who served as both head football and baseball coach at the school, died on Oct. 7 of last year.

Here is the Facebook post.

“It is with great sadness that we share the passing of a Haughton coaching legend.  Coach Bob Brotherton was a 1970 graduate of HHS where he earned All District honors as running back.  He returned to HHS after graduating from Northwestern State and remained here for his entire teaching and coaching career.  As a player and a coach, he was a part of 251 Buccaneer victories, including the 1977 AAA State Championship.  During his career he coached 29 1st Team All District defensive backs, 5 1st Team All State defensive backs and helped coach the Bucs to 8 District Championships.

“As an assistant, Coach Brotherton helped coach the Bucs Track and Field team to the AAA State Championship in 1975.  He then took over as head coach in 1976 and would hold that title for 33 years.  He was named District Coach of the Year five times, All Area Coach of the Year in 2006 and, in 1983, he was given an award for “Outstanding Contributions in Track and Field.”

“Coach Brotherton leaves behind a legacy of love and loyalty to Haughton High School and the Haughton community.  Please keep the Brotherton family in your thoughts and prayers during this time.”
