Coach Jimmie Marvin Davis – Head Basketball Coach
With over 20 years of experience in education and basketball coaching, Coach Davis has dedicated his life to developing student-athletes on and off the court. A 1996 graduate of Quitman High School, Coach Davis went on to earn his degree in Education from Louisiana Tech University, laying the foundation for a successful career in teaching and coaching.
Coach Davis began his journey at Lakeside Junior and Senior High School, where he served as the Head Girls Basketball Coach. Under his leadership, the program thrived, reaching the playoffs four out of five years. His tenure included a quarterfinal playoff appearance, a regional final, and two bi-district playoff runs, reflecting his strong ability to build competitive teams and mentor young athletes.
He later took the helm as the Head Boys Basketball Coach at Mansfield High School, where his impact was just as profound. In his six years there, he led the team to the playoffs three times, claimed the 1-2A District Championship in the 2016-2017 season, and was honored as the 1-2A District Coach of the Year. His teams also finished as district runners-up in both the 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 seasons. Coach Davis comes to us from Northwood High School where he served as Head Coach.
Coach Davis is known for his discipline, strategic approach, and ability to inspire young athletes to reach their potential and we are excited to welcome Coach Davis back to the Airline family!
