WOSgrad Posted May 12, 2012 Report Posted May 12, 2012 Janet Davis has accepted the assistant principal position at Lumberton.Congrats and good luck to Coach Davis.
Cat22 Posted May 13, 2012 Report Posted May 13, 2012 Good luck Coach! Gonna miss seeing you on the court!
Cat22 Posted May 14, 2012 Report Posted May 14, 2012 If this position is opened up and not promoted from within (which I think a certain someone from this message board should get it) it should generate alot of interest.
Bobkat Posted May 14, 2012 Report Posted May 14, 2012 First Sims is already retired...I would think the assistant would get the first serious look. But maybe the district is looking for a new direction. Nothing against Coach Davis because I think and know she's a great coach, but I really thought some of those teams the past few years would have gotten to Huntsville more and it just didn't happen. Maybe it was matchups in the playoffs that didn't suit HJ well, not sure because I didn't see any of their playoff games but I thought this year after Orangefield should have beat Giddings that HJ would have beat them by 20. It didn't happen!!! Time for a change maybe!!!
Let’sGetAlong Posted May 15, 2012 Report Posted May 15, 2012 What was Davis's record when she was the head coach? How about her district record? Perhaps they just ran into teams that were better than them in the playoffs. She did a great job.
bobbymcgee Posted May 16, 2012 Report Posted May 16, 2012 I agree with Bobcat. Good regular season coach, not so much in the playoffs. One playoff win in three seasons?
hjhawks Posted May 16, 2012 Report Posted May 16, 2012 The pot shots that some are taking at Coach Davis are ridiculous! Can't you just come on here and say congrats coach for having a district record of 30-0 in 3 years (2 time district coach of the year). An overall record that most other programs would take in a heartbeat (against a pretty tough schedule might I add)There are many factors that come into play in the playoffs. Injuries, sickness, foul trouble, etc. bobbymcgee.... come on really???I saw Coach Davis work everyday and feel honored to have been her assistant for the past 3 seasons. There are not many other coaches in the state that have the planning, preparation, professionalism, and genuine care for the athletes best interests that Coach Davis does...Congrats on a great 3 years!!! Good luck in your new endeavor!

Believe me being from Orangefield I know first hand the type or person Coach Davis is and you yourself are and the type of program that HJ has. Every team in the area should try to mirror the program Coach Sims and Coach Davis have put together over there. I was just curious as to why Coach Davis is moving on...is it because she's just tired of the grind and wanted to do something else or in a way was she being kind of pushed out. Just curious because I really saw her coaching at HJ for a long time to come. There are crazy people everywhere, believe me we have them in Orangefield, so you never know how the community can react to coaches that have been successful, but maybe not as successful enough to people in the district. With all that said, I congrats Coach Davis on her new endeavor in life!!! I know she'll be an outstanding educator in the Lumberton district!!!
whsalum Posted May 19, 2012 Report Posted May 19, 2012 The only possible way to improve on 30-0 is to play in a bigger district LOL.If i had a daughter she could play for Coach Davis any day.Congrats Janet on a great coaching job.
