Hart’s Norton Was Ready to Choose

Patrick Norton of Hart High said the time was right to make an early commitment to UCLA. Norton, a 6-foot-2, 255-pound junior fullback, accepted a scholarship for 2000 on Saturday night.

“You can only think about it so many times,” he said. “They [UCLA] said they were only taking one fullback. I felt real comfortable there. This is what I want and it took me three weeks to figure it out.”
