Tales From The Creek | Barbara Foxx

Before the days of specialization, top-level athletes played multiple sports through high school and sometimes into college.
 
Barbara Foxx did that and more when she enrolled at Campbell in 1975.  Not only did she star for the Campbell basketball and softball teams, but she also played on the short-lived field hockey squad.
 
After earning accolades in two sports and earning outstanding female athlete honors twice, she took a teaching and coaching job at Pinecrest High School – and stayed for 38 years.
 
Barbara didn't play volleyball at Campbell. She graduated seven years before the Fighting Camels added that sport.  But she became one of the most successful high school volleyball coaches in the state's history.
 
And she didn't just turn in her sneakers, cleats and glove after graduation, but went on to become one of the top slow pitch softball players in the nation.
 
For her efforts, Barbara is a member of the 2024 Campbell Athletics Hall of Fame induction class, marking the fourth Hall in which she has been so honored.
 
In the next installment of Tales from the Creek, Barbara talks with Stan Cole about her playing, teaching and coaching journey and more.
