Huge push in the last few days got Cox over the top. Congrats to him…
Cox was named USA TODAY’s ALL-USA Boys Soccer Coach of the Year after leading Elsik to a 25-0-2 season and the program’s first ever state title, in Texas’ demanding 6A class. The former University of Houston track and field standout, who dabbled in the 1996 U.S. Olympic trials and tried out for several MLS teams before turning to coaching, has built a powerhouse at the multinational high school in the Alief region of Houston. Cox has a 10-year coaching record of 198-36-25, and the program is 86-8-5 over the past four seasons.
