One Shot

Coach Davis and his wife of 50 years, Carol, hailed from the beautiful Hudson Valley, NY beginning in 1974. Coach’s career as Varsity Coach of both Men’s Basketball and Baseball at FDR High School and then Head Coach of the Mount Saint Mary Blue Knights garnered him innumerable Coach of the Year accolades, awards and distinctions over 40 years. He was very active in enhancing the game for the better as well, such as, creating a Coaches Association to share knowledge and provide mentorship among peers. Coach would have said every championship the players earned was their victory and every defeat was all on him. Despite all of the athletic accomplishments of his teams and individual players, he was proudest of the people his players have become. He and his wife bragged as if the players were their own children about their milestones, large and small. Many players went onto successful athletic careers at both the college and professional level (including World Series rings) and many others went onto to be titans of their industries, leaders in their communities and most importantly, gentleman, as Coach always was himself.
