O-D’s Kozoro honored with IHSAA Scholarship

INDIANAPOLIS — The IHSAA, the IHSAA Foundation, and Forté Sports Medicine and Orthopedics are proud to announce the selection of 20 senior student-athletes for 10 scholarships to be presented this Spring.
Alongside the C. Eugene Cato Memorial Scholarships announced previously, the IHSAA and
IHSAA Foundation is proud to recognize and honor the legacies of legends and leaders of Indiana
with recipients from nine scholarships.
Locally, Leah Kozoro of Oregon—Davis received the Bobby & Kathy Cox Post-Secondary Scholarship.
Leah is a two-sport athlete, participating in soccer and softball for the Bobcats. Leah served as the captain of her soccer team and is the Vice President of her senior class. She is a member of the National Honor Society, Student Council, Students Against Destructive Decisions, and the Prom Committee. Leah will be attending Purdue University-Northwest in the fall.
The Bobby and Kathy Cox Scholarship Endowment Fund was created in 2020 after Bobby Cox’s
retirement as commissioner of the IHSAA. He and his wife Kathy were long-time administrators in
the state of Indiana, with 74 combined years as educators and supporters of education-based
Athletics. The scholarship was created to shine a light on senior student-athletes in the state of Indiana who will be the first in their families to attend a post-secondary education institution while also showing outstanding teamwork, leadership, and good character throughout their high school years.
Two recipients from each of the three IHSAA districts were selected to receive a one-time $1,500
scholarship for post-secondary educational expenses.
Recipients of the Bobby & Kathy Cox Post-Secondary Scholarship will be honored and recognized
by Bobby and Kathy Cox for their achievement at a mutually agreed upon celebration with the Oregon—Davis schools.
