Blue Knights Volleyball Signs Destiny Cox

The Blue Knights volleyball team has announced the signing of outside hitter, Destiny Cox, from South Saint Paul and Simley High School.

" I am thrilled to have Destiny as a part of our program. She has a heavy arm and will provide some power at the outside hitter position. She is very athletic and has a lot of untapped potential. She will make an immediate impact on the court and I can't wait to start working with her!" said head volleyball coach, Jen Bowman.

We asked Destiny some questions to get to know her better.
