DAVID DAVIS LIVED ACROSS THE STREET FROM ME WHEN I WAS A TEACHER/COACH AT CIRCLE HIGH SCHOOL. HE WAS A GREAT BASKETBALL TALENT ALONG WITH HIS TEAM MATES OF TOM PRITCHARD, ROCKY MCWILLIAMS, ROGER HALL, REX IRWIN, DALE WALLACE, RICK COOPER, AS MR. JACK PARKER WAS HEAD COACH. AS A YOUNGSTER, DAVID WAS ALWAYS OUTSIDE WEARING THE ORANGE PAINT OFF THE BASKETBALL GOAL AND GETTING PARENTING ADVICE FROM MOM AND DAD. HIS SISTERS WERE OLDER, BUT MERCY SAKES, HE COULD SCORE QUITE WELL WITH THE BALL IF WITHIN 15-18 FEET. HIS 6'5-6" FRAME AND SOME 220# WAS A BLESSING, BUT WHEN IT CAME TO REBOUNDING, HE TOOK SECOND PLACE TO ROCKY MCWILLIAMS...ROCKY HAS INSTINCTS & COULD SIMPLY JUDGE WHERE THE BALL AND DIRECTION IT WOULD BOUNCE AND HE WOULD SNAG THEM. THE SUCCESS OF CIRCLE HOOPS DURING 1967-1970 ERA WAS LARGELY DUE TO PLAYERS LIKE DAVE DAVIS. HE PASSES AWAY WAY TOO EARLY, BUT HE PUT IN THE EFFORT TO SUCCEED FROM HIS DRIVEWAY EVEN AFTER THE SUN SET. DOUBLE THUMBSUP FROM OLE ASSISTANT COACH LARRY JANTZ
