Coach Cox gets Baseball Top Job

After ten years as the Rocky Mount JV head coach, Kent Cox got the call from the bullpen and has become the new varsity head coach of the Gryphons.

Cox compiled a 121-61 record in JV play, including winning the last 3 NEW 6 Conference titles. He has had eight winning seasons, including seven with 12 over more victories. He was an assistant on the Gryphons 2008 State Championship team.

The longtime assistant football coach has also coached Jr. Legion as well as the 14-year old Babe Ruth World Series team that won the state title and finished third overall.

This will not even be the biggest announcement of the week for Cox, whose second child, a son, is due Friday. Cox and his wife Emily, also have a 3-year old daughter, Kenly.

Good Luck to Coach Cox, and Congratulations!!
