Calvert Hall's Davis is Ravens Coach of the Week
Calvert Hall's Donald Davis is the fourth local coach to be named Ravens High School Coach of the Week.
His Cardinals upset then-No. 2 Gilman, 21-12, on Saturday for their fifth straight win and their first win over the Greyhounds since November 2003. At 5-2 overall, they moved into first place in the MIAA A Conference at 2-0. McDonogh, the only other team unbeaten in the conference, is 1-0.
The Cardinals, who moved into The Baltimore Sun's Top 15 for the first time this season at No. 8, used a strong running game and a tough defense as they held a Greyhounds offense averaging 40.2 points a game to its lowest output of the season. They ran for more than 250 yards. Defensively, the Cardinals came up with a fumble and an interception and stopped two conversion attempts.
Davis, a Calvert Hall graduate, has been the head coach for three years and has been coaching for nine. In 2003, he was the Ravens High School Coach of the Year while at Cardinal Gibbons.
This season's Coach of the Year will be named on Dec. 13 during the Ravens-Lions game.
Others in the running this season: Patterson's Corey Johnson, Atholton's Kyle Schmitt, Dunbar's Lawrence Smith and North Caroline's James McCornick.
