“Hopefully, we can get in a little better shape,” Davis said Sunday night. “We are going to spend a lot of time running this week. Plus, Flowery Branch does so much on offense that we are going to need all the time we can get to prepare for them.” [Full Story »]

Shane Davis holds plenty of titles which are associated with his duties of head football coach at Apalachee High School.

His most recent title, however, seems to be that of weatherman as the veteran Wildcat coach is concerned over the fact the extreme heat is limiting his team’s ability to work, especially in full gear. AHS, which opens the season Aug. 27 against Habersham Central, ushered in official preseason practice last week but the heat played a factor. [Full Story »]

Shane Davis places a high level of importance on his coaching staff being a family.

That’s why the Apalachee High School football coach doesn’t hire new coaches often or without much thought and process. After defensive coordinator David Wagner left to become the new head coach at Winder-Barrow High School, Davis took his time in retooling his coaching staff for the 2010 season. With spring practice approaching next month, the Wildcat coach has just now put the finishing touches on what will be his new group of assistants. [Full Story »]

For Shane Davis, it hasn’t taken long for the historic significance of the 2009 season to sink in.

In fact, even as the season was progressing, Davis knew what his Apalachee High School team was going through was in fact special.

“Going undefeated while playing a straight region schedule says a lot about our kids,” Davis said. “It says a lot about their heart and character. To win two playoff games in the manner we did, also shows what type of team we had this season.” [Full Story »]
