Episode #94 - John Oxton (Former Lakeville North Boys Basketball Coach)

For this episode I’m joined by one of the best Minnesota boys
high school basketball coaches to ever pace the sidelines. 
John Oxton led the Lakeville North boys basketball program for 33
seasons, appearing in 12 state tournaments, capturing the 2014
class 4A state championship and finishing his career with 706
wins currently leaving him with the 6th most wins in state
history.


 


Prior to arriving in Lakeville, “Ox” was the head coach for
Gardiner High School in Montana and led them to a state
championship in 1989 and he also won a state title as a player
for Fargo North High School in North Dakota.  We cover a
number of topics including his two-year coaching sabbatical that
he took at Lakeville to watch his daughter play high school
basketball, JP Macura and the 2014 state title team and how so
many Lakeville North players ended up at Wisconsin.
