Back to work: Wildcats look to 2012

“We will work hard this offseason like we always do,” Davis said. “The players know we have to work to get back to where we need to be. We will continue with our weight program for the rest of this semester. We just want to get into a good offseason groove with our workouts. Once spring gets here, we’ll see what athletes are playing other sports and go from there.”

What impressed Davis perhaps the most in 2011, is the fact his players never gave up, despite a slow start where some close games went against them.

“We had high expectations coming into the season,” Davis said. “That’s the way it will always be with us. Suddenly, we found ourselves 0-4. It would have been easy to cash it in at that point but we kept fight, kept battling and kept trying to turn things around.”

AHS did turn things around winning four of its next six games. In the two losses, one was not decided until late in the fourth quarter and the one came down the final play of the game.

“It shows a lot of heart and character on behalf of everyone involved with our program,” Davis said. “We will try and use that momentum to go into next season and into our offseason workouts.”
