“Coach Cox is a high energy guy, with a lot of passion for the game of football,” RCHS Athletics Director Adam Haynes said. “He has shown to have really good leadership skills and will run the program with great character and integrity. We feel that Coach Cox is the right person to lead our football program here at Rockbridge County High School.
