It was Rock's final game after a long, successful career as the Russellville High School football coach. Russellville was at Harrison and trailed by seven points at halftime, but everyone reacted as if the game were over. Rock and his players shook hands with Harrison's players and coaches, and Rock was suddenly home and in bed.
Without further thought, he got up and made himself a cup of green tea.
He debated whether to drive to Kroger to buy a can of coffee. No one seemed at all concerned that Rock and his team simply quit at halftime. That apparently was expected. At any rate, there was no going back. It was too odd to contemplate.
