51 points, 8 assists, 10 rebounds, 3 steals, and 2 blocks....
That was the impressive stat line for Stockbridge High's Chris Davis (6' 3, CG, 2010) in last evening's opening game versus Luella High. Despite the tremendous performance by Davis, Stockbridge fell to a talented Luella (2-0) squad in by the final score of 99-89.
Although he might not have as much name recongition as some others; make no mistake about it; Davis is one of the Top Tier 2010 prospects in Georgia. He has been receiving strong recruiting interest from a number of Low and Mid-Major D1 programs but has decided to wait until the Spring to sign. Davis would be an absolute steal for any of the programs in the Atlantic Sun Conference. Don't be surprised to see High Major Programs getting in the mix as well over the next few months. Reportedly Coach Fox's staff at the Univ. of Georgia has began to express interest in Davis.
Davis has a very quick first step and is very good at attacking the basket. He has explosive athleticism and a strong build on his 6' 3 frame. While his strength is his ability to pentrate and create off the dribble, he does possess a good, albeit streaky jumper from beyond the arc. (he was certainly "on" last night, as he knocked down 5 three point field goals in the 2nd half alone). Off the court, Davis is an impressive and humble young man, who does well in the classroom and caries himself in a very positive manner. If his performance in the season opener was any indication, Chris is primed to have a huge senior year.
Editor's Side Note: We would like to send our thoughts and prayers out to the family of Stockbridge High Head Coach Duane Kelly, who had to miss last night's game due to the hospitalization of his son.
