Boyd's Cox pushes way to Union

CANNONSBURG — Josh Cox emerged from a rather hellish journey and ultimately found a dream destination.

 

Cox sat out nearly his entire junior football season at Boyd County as he rehabilitated the knee injured in the first game of that fall.

 

A torn ACL, MCL and meniscus sidelined the two-sport athlete for football and track.

 

“It was excruciating,” Cox said. “But I kept telling the coaches that I was going to be able to play my senior year. I just worked my butt off in rehab and in the weight room.”

 

Cox not only saw the field again, he thrived. The linebacker/fullback turned in an All-Area senior campaign as he tallied 50-plus tackles to lead the Lions, more than 300 rushing yards to go with five touchdowns, and nearly 150 receiving yards and two TD catches.
