RMAC Hall of Fame

Bill Noxon 

Called the "Western Slope Wizard" in an article by Denver Post, Noxon compiled an 87-44-2 record in 14 years as Western State football coach, developing the Mountaineers into a national power. Between 1973 and 1979, Noxon guided WSC to seven consecutive RMAC championships. In all, Noxon collected eight RMAC crowns. In 1978, Western State made it to the Final Four of the NAIA playoffs, one of three trips Noxon made to the national tournament. Noxon was named NAIA District VII Coach of the Year three times. He also spent nearly 20 years as a high school coach prior to Western State, winning 130 games and a 2A state championship. Noxon now has residences in both Grand Junction and Scottsdale, Ariz.
