. Pagt t-Jht Pwquimkns Weekly, Hertford. N.C. Thursday, May 1, 1977 Susan Cox Takes Position At Peace RALEIGH Susan Cox, the successful coach of the Williamston High School girls' basketball team for the last seven years, has ac . ' cepted the position as basketball coach at Peace College. Miss Cox will assume her responsibilities ' at the Ralelghe woman's ;' college here in August. Miss Cox has compiled one of the most impressive .coaching records in North . : Carolina. While winning the -conference championship .' isix of seven years and ad vancing to the state tourna- vment five of those six years, , her teams have won 155 games while losing only 21. , Her 1974 team finished se cond in the state. At Peace College Miss Cox will be coaching a team which has been nationally ranked for three con secutive years. During those respective years, the "Green Giants" have , finished sixth, third and se cond in national junior col lege tournament play. In March of this year they lost in the national finals to Vincennes, Ind. by only two points. They had finished third in the nationals in Temple, Tex. in 1976. ., Williamston athletic director, Dennis Mills, describes Miss Cox, a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro with a graduate degree from East Carolina University, , as a person to whom he has confidantly en trusted the girls' athletic program. "She is as fine a coach man or woman as I have worked with in ten years, and she is willing to do whatever is necessary to have a good program," Mills said. "She will be ex . tremely difficult to replace, but I would not stand in her ;"way of making a change " which she considers in her ' own professional best in '' terest. Peace College nor - ' anyone else could go wrong with her." Miss Cox's ability as a coach was recognized last July when she was chosen to help coach the Eastern North Carolina team in the . , East-West All Star Basket ball Game. Her team the . East won after having ' '. been defeated soundly the previous year. Generally, , . basketball in the western . part of the state has been considered superior to that . played in the East, and this victory in the All Star game ' helped boost the reputation 'of girls' basketball in the .. East. -.. ; At Williamston, Miss Cox, . who is the daughter of Mr. 'and Mrs. William D. (Bill) Cox of Hertford, has been . volved in coaching Softball track and tennis, although she will concentrate solely ' ' on basketball at Peace. She :' has also been involved in the . work of the Williamston Parks and Recreation Department by serving on '' ' the advisory committee and by conducting sports clinics in the summer. Of her new responsibility at Peace, Miss Cox says, "I am excited and pleased to have been selected to head the Peace College basket- ball program. Peace College , has developed an outstand . ing reputation, both academically and athleti cally. It will be a challenge to continue the program in the winning tradition Peace : ': has developed in the last few ? years." : "I look forward to the challenge and will work hard to maintain a high level of competition," she . continued. "I will strive to ' , develop the young ladies in- volved in the program, both .,- highly skilled athletes and outstanding con tributors to the continued growth of Peace." Peace athletic director, Beth Hamilton Gorman, who announced the appoint ment, expressed oleasure over the addition of Miss Cox to the college's staff. - "Personnel at Peace have known Susan ' Cox for ; - several years and have f; known her to be an ; ; honorable and sincere per son as well as an excellent ; teacher and very successful . basketball coach," Mrs. ; Gorman said. "She is the j kind of person we want on our staff and we share her V confidence in her ability to ' participation is preparation continue our winning tradi tion ' while making even more valuable contributions to the lives of the young women with whom : she works." : "Our philosophies are compatible in what we believe, with her, that nice people do not always finish last, and that the most valuable outcome of athletic for life," Mrs. Gorman said. "I think we also share the view of athletic competition as an extension of the in structional program." :. "We feel extremely for tunate to have a person of Susan Cox's caliber join our staff," Mrs. Gorman con cluded. "She would be an asset to any program."
