Family members, friends, teammates and coaches of the late Alex Wilcox paid tribute to the former Mississippi State University softball player this weekend. During halftime of Saturday's [Sept. 15] football victory against Louisiana, Wilcox's jersey was officially retired, making her the first female student-athlete in MSU history to be honored in this way. On Sunday [Sept. 16], a memorial service was held for Wilcox at the Chapel of Memories. The Brantley, Alabama native died in June at the age of 18 after battling ovarian cancer.
