Little Rock Central had first down at its 40-yard line late in the first half of an Oct. 9 home game with Conway when junior quarterback Cole Westbrook dropped to pass.
Westbrook, almost instantly, was flushed from a nonexistent pocket and threw incomplete.

At halftime of what would evolve into a 31-0 Conway victory, a former coach ...

Sad times for a once formidable program and a sad ending for one of the true innovators in Arkansas high school athletics. I covered high school sports during a short stay as a sports writer at the Arkansas Democrat (1976-78), and Bernie Cox was one of the rising stars in a sky full of excellent prep coaches - Parkview's Sam Goodwin, NLR Ole Main's Henry Hawks, Catholic's George Loss and the dean of Arkansas prep coaches at that time, Hall's C.W. Koepple.
I hope Bernie will find life full of first downs after leaving Central.
