Diron Chloe

Charger comes up big on both sides of the ball

From the Charlotte Observer...

Diron Chloe doesn't like to come off the football field.

When Cox Mill plays, the junior doesn't get to leave the gridiron often,  starting on both sides of the ball at fullback on offense and middle linebacker on defense.

Heading into last Friday's game at A.L. Brown, Chloe had rushed for 585 yards  and nine touchdowns while making 14 solo tackles.

In most games, the junior is on the field for 80 plays, sitting out a little bit on offense and on most special-teams plays.

Starting both ways is definitely tough at times," said Chloe. "But I like to be  in on every play if I can. For my team, I just have to do it. That's just the  way it is."

Cox Mill band marches in 'Homeland' commercial

From the Charlotte Observer...

If you turn on your television and see what looks like the Cox Mill High  School Marching Band, don't worry: You are not "seeing things."

Various members of the Spirit of Cox Mill High School Marching Band were cast  recently in a commercial for a new television series called "Homeland." The  series will air on Showtime beginning this fall.

Joseph Earp, director of bands at Cox Mill High, explained how they were  discovered for the part.

"A simple email ... was sent to one of our assistant principals, Julia Erdie,  from the casting company that was involved with the commercial. The lady in  charge of casting was in attendance at the Cox Mill Elementary fifth-grade  graduation, which the Cox Mill High School band performed for," Earp said. "She  was impressed with our band and with our look."

The commercial is running on Showtime and also can be seen on You Tube at: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FM6oL1Lddts. Check it out.

Explosive lineman powers Charger defense

From the Charlotte Observer...

Tristian Green never gives up on a play with a potential sack or tackle at  stake. That is the key to the Cox Mill senior defensive-end's game, after he  established himself as one of the top defenders in the South Piedmont conference  last year with 16.5 sacks.

"To be a great defensive lineman, you have to have a motor that never stops,"  Green said. "I try to work harder on every play."

CMHS Woman Tennis

Junior grows into SPC tennis title contender

From the Charlotte Observer.... 

In 2009, it was hard to tell who had more to learn: the Cox Mill girls' tennis team or its single players, including top seed Claudia Oyaneder.

The team, like the school, was brand new. Made up of freshmen, most of whom came up from Harris Road Middle, as well as sophomores and juniors who had been reassigned from Northwest Cabarrus, the Chargers had to settle into their new environment.

Two years later, Oyaneder and the Chargers have reversed roles. The experienced Oyaneder, as a singles player, and the Cox Mill team could easily compete for a conference championship this year.
