Cox Reaches Milestone as Lakers Defeat Augusta State
by Lee Wright, Sports Information
of the repertoire he considers suitable for
children’s choir.
“Nonetheless,” says Spivey Hall
Executive Director Sam Dixon, “He
offers significant words of praise for the
artistry demonstrated in the Children’s
Choir’s latest commercial CD release,
Circles of Motion.”
“Martha Shaw has shaped the sweet voic-
es of the Spivey Hall Children’s Choir
into a superbly blended instrument,” says
Beegle in his review. “The sound is pleas-
ing, the phrasing graceful, the diction
clear. Shaw, the group’s founder, writes in
the liner notes that the singers inspire her.
I would like to add that they inspire me,
also.
“These gifted choir members deserve to
know and to sing the best — the very best
— such as Britten and Vivaldi.”

The milestones continue to grow for
Clayton State women’s head basketball
coach Dennis Cox.
On Jan. 14 Clayton State made it 13
straight victories as the Lakers defeated
visiting Augusta State 85-47 in Peach Belt
Conference action at the Athletics and
Fitness Center.
For Cox, it was his 200th victory in his
eighth season at the Clayton State helm,
making him 200-46 overall with a win-
ning percentage of .813; the third-win-
ningest active women’s head coach at the
Division II level.
There was little doubt that the milestone
would take place as the Lakers shot 51
