Hocker the game

Before the Saturday morning hocker game, an army of Nortons appears to vacuum the house, wash the clothes and take care of all the other chores that must be completed before playtime.

Jobs are listed on schedules displayed in the hallway, alongside tutoring schedules of comparable length. Norton has definite views on education. He believes much of what is being taught in schools today is a waste of time. In keeping with this philosophy, several Norton children were allowed to abandon formal schooling when it threatened to interfere with talents the family considered more important. The most notable Norton dropout is year-old Beth, who in was ranked No. Now a fledgling pro, Beth has played at Wimbledon and Forest Hills.

Tim Norton, 22, has also appeared on the pro tennis tour, but in recent months has devoted much of his time to coaching Beth and one of his adopted sisters, Sue Ming, who is playing the junior New England circuit.

No sooner had he taken up tennis than Norton installed an outdoor court and equipped it with lights. Then when New England winters began cutting into the family's court time, he built one of the handful of private indoor courts in the country. From the outside, it looks like a colonial dairy barn.

Three ball machines are on the sidelines along with several shopping carts of balls and a scale model of a hocker field outfitted with miniature goalposts, grandstands and tiny plastic players. The model is part of a presentation Norton is currently making to corporations, in the hope that one of them will decide to promote hocker worldwide.

I've watched hocker develop from a strictly family game to a team sport, and I am convinced that someday it is going to be bigger than either baseball or football. Classic Galleries. Sports Illustrated. SI Kids. And at night? Get out of here. LSU rarely loses at home under the lights.

Jefferson willed Arkansas to victory. For the game, he finished 18 of 25 for yards with no interceptions and the score. Jefferson ran for another 41 yards on 15 carries. He is the lifeblood. Too many times in recent years has Arkansas been unable to rely on its kickers.

Not since Zach Hocker left the program after the season have the Razorbacks had a threat in the kicking game. Apologies to Connor Limpert, who was a solid kicker in the late Bret Bielema days.
