Faith Lutheran does a lot with a little in win over Shadow Ridge

Time of possession can be a misleading statistic. Just ask Shadow Ridge’s football team. The Mustangs held the ball for 36 minutes, 35 seconds on Friday and ran 82 offensive plays compared to 36 for Faith Lutheran. But all that time with the ball didn’t produce much against the Crusaders’ bend-but-don’t-break defense. FULL ARTICLE

Vernon L. Fox III is is best known for his athletic prowess and contributions to the world of football, but that is not where his talents end.

Vernon, born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada, graduated with honors from Cimarron-Memorial High School in the top 10% of his graduating class. After high school, Vernon went on to Fresno State University where his academic excellence continued, making him a perennial “Academic All-WAC” student-athlete and later an “Academic All-American”. In 2001, the National Football Foundation and the College Hall of Fame recognized Vernon as a “National Scholar Athlete” and semifinalist for the Draddy Trophy. This prestigious honor is only given to 16 collegiate student-athletes each year and the winner is awarded the “Academic Heisman”.
His drive and commitment outside of the classroom led to him receiving a full-ride athletic scholarship to Fresno State University where he had a great career being named a two-time 1st Team All WAC Conference defensive back. Despite being projected as high as a 4th round draft pick in the NFL, he went undrafted. Vernon’s career lasted over a span of 8 years as a spot starter. He became a standout special teams player receiving honors as a captain and special teams MVP in 2005. He made stops to play with the Detroit Lions, Washington Redskins, and Denver Broncos, after leaving San Diego.

In 2013, Vernon became the head HS football coach at Faith Lutheran. In his time at Faith he has been a part of helping win a state championship in his first season, three 3A conference championships, four playoff appearances, and the recipient of two Coach of the Year Awards. Vernon embodies a man with proper priorities: Faith, Family, and Career. Vernon has served in ministry since 2004 and in the capacity of a minister since 2008. His desire to help others is driven by his calling and passion for the ministry. Vernon has spoken at numerous churches, small groups, schools, and organizations all over the country. Vernon’s commitment to family-first is evident when seen with his wife Tai and his two children, Tailynn and Treylon.
