However, the 6-foot-1, 219-pound junior safety has often been confined to the sidelines due to injuries or being behind Josh Barrett on the depth chart. With Barrett sidelined with a sore knee, Cox finally got an extended chance. And, sure enough, he has made an impact. Cox had nine tackles after replacing Barrett against Southern California on Thanksgiving, then in the first start of his career had an interception against Arizona. These past two weeks have been really enjoyable, Cox said. Im making plays and helping out the defense. The coaches have put me in a good position to make plays. Cox has dealt with knee, back and shoulder injuries as a collegian, and he was awarded a medical redshirt after missing 10 games in 2005. Ive been waiting, but Ive had a never-give-up attitude, Cox said.
Cedar Creek Arena Means USHL Hockey Expansion
It's easy to steal a line from Field of Dreams. If you buld it, they will come. United States Hockey League President Gino Gasparini tells Newsline 9 Sports if the proposed 4,000 seat arena in Cedar Creek is built as planned, then the league would field a team in 2009. Gasparini: "This is a fan-based driven league. For it to be successful you got to have a good corporate base and good potential for a fan base. We think all of those things are located in that vicinity." In a phone interview, Gasparini tells Sports Director Bryon Graff it would be a start-up expansion team. The league looks for a combination of venue, fan and corporate support. And the Wausau area fits the bill. The USHL considers itself the number one developmental league in America. It produces players for the Division I college level and the NHL Draft.
Natchez Regional facing drastic changes
Later, when I had my second child and had to have a C-section, nothing made me feel any better than to surprising look up to a masked face with eyes I knew, crinkled at the corners with a smile, telling me everything would be okay. She put me at ease while they brought my baby into the world. But, when the surgery was over, I remained without the pain machine they give you afterwards because they couldn't find one for me. So I laid in a little hallway, on my stretcher, waiting.........without pain medication because they were waiting for the machine and thought they'd have it soon.......... There's good and bad to be said and taken into account. I just hope the good employees don't have to suffer for it. Their industry is one of the best paying fields left in the area.
