Little Rock Fair

Here was a perfect example of why Rock was occasionally completely exasperated by his job.
All he had to do on this occasion was put together a box score for a basketball game just completed between high school girls from Little Rock Fair and Parkview. He was in a crowded gymnasium on the Fair campus. Apparently a tournament was underway.
No one had kept a game book, though a student assistant from Parkview recorded scoring summaries of his school's players. No one from Fair seemed to care, except its coach, who said she could give Rock her top two or three leading scorers.
He was seated with several others at a table in a large room behind the bleachers and could feel frustration begin to overwhelm him. "Listen," he said to the coach. "Couldn't you find a student willing to keep a book for you? I can't tell you how important it is to us to have someone keep a few simple numbers."
"I just don't know who could do that for us," the coach said.
