Lakeview High School

Class of 1974

Inducted October 2021

Cox was a three-year starter for Lakeview, and though his teams were often outmanned, they weren't an easy win for anyone.

Cox was both All-City and All-Apollo Conference as a junior and senior in 1972 and '73, leading the team in tackles both years — including a 33-tackle game against St. Teresa. Cox was also a track star in the 440 and in the sprint relays.

He went on to play at Millikin., but injuries and concussions cut his time short.

Cox has also coached several sports at many levels, including state-qualifying high school golf teams at LeRoy and Tri-Valley.
