IC Norcom rising senior KJ Davis picked up an offer from UT-Chattanooga earlier this week. Davis, a 6-foot- has seen a rise in his recruitment during the offseason.
A member of the last two Greyhound state championship team, Davis averaged more than 20 points, seven rebounds and two blocks during the 2015-16 season. He earned first-team all-state honors following Norcom’s last-second win over Hopewell to capture the Group 3A state title. Davis finished with a double-double (16 points, 10 rebounds) in the victory. The junior also won the inaugural Jarcam Player of the Year award.
Indian River hires new boys coach
Indian River will welcome a new boys coach, former Oscar Smith assistant Kirk Overton, who will take over for last year’s head coach Chavez Mabry.
Formerly an assistant at Oscar Smith, Overton is a longtime physical education teacher at Indian River which played a large part in the school’s decision to hire him. He also previously served as junior varsity coach at Oscar Smith after leaving a previous stint at Indian River. Overton will try to resurrect a Braves program that missed the postseason in 2015.
