Davis Heads To Wright State as Raiders Land Former Trotwood Star

 Amari Davis Leaves Missouri, Headed To Wright State 

Amari Davis is heading home to finish his college career after deciding to play for Wright State, per the reports.

Davis, who had tranferred to Missouri after dominating at Wisconsin GB, decided to enter the transfer portal after Missouri head coach Cuonzo Martin had stepped down after one season. 

Davis would average almost 10ppg, but never really could get fully acclimated in the system, although he had some very good games during the season, including a perfect shooting night in a win.

Once Cleveland State Coach Gates would get the job and bring in his recruits, Davis decided to jump back in the portal.

After a couple of discussions between Raiders coaches, Davis, and his team, the decision was made.

Davis would decide to come back to Wright State. 

This comes right after the signing of Star guard Anthony Johnson of Fairmont.

Since the hiring of assistant coach Travis Trice, it seems that the Raiders have taken the advice of some of the media and consensus and started looking the local way.

In the era of the "Transfer Portal" it will be paramount to keep a eye and start grabbing the local talent, and the Raiders have done a good job so far of realizing that after losing 3 of their players to the portal after winning their first NCAA tournament game in Raider history.

"I'm excited to come back home to finish my career." Davis said. 

Davis was a All State performer and HS champion 4 years ago at Trotwood HS.

Earl White Selected as Head Football Coach at Chaminade-Julienne 

By Deon Cash 

After a tumultuous off season for one of the greatest coaches in OHSAA and Dayton HS football history, Earl White just kept his faith and his signature work ethic, and let the rest take care of itself as he has been named the new head football coach of Chaminade-Julienne, per the reports.  

White has amassed a incredible career over the course of almost three decades, in which he took Colonel White HS to a State Semifinal Berth. 

He has resurrected three schools in the process, the last being Meadowdale HS, accumulating 15 City League Championships and over 125 wins in his City League tenure, showing his dominance and level of excellence for decades. 

White took a prideful organization who had been mired in losing, and literally turned it around in one football season; he nearly guided the Lions to a City League championship and the OHSAA playoffs in the process. 

However, White couldn’t connect with the new regime at Dayton Public Schools in the last couple of years, and was unceremoniously pushed out the door. He would decide to step down from Meadowdale after the 1st season, which became messy during the end. 

During the offseason, White remained patient and hopeful as jobs were filled across the football landscape by Beavercreek (Marcus Colvin), West Carrollton (Chris Mobley), & Meadowdale (Derrick Shepard). 

With only 1 high profile job left, it was a question on who would grab the vaunted Chaminade coaching gig after Colvins' unexpected move to Beavercreek.

After a couple of high-profile meetings with C-J officials, former coaches, and esteemed personnel, it was determined that White was the person for the job. 

“I am very thankful and blessed for the opportunity to lead the Chaminade-Julienne football program, and I am thankful for all that Dayton Public Schools have done for me over the course of my coaching career.” White would say after his press release. 

The Eagles are coming off a .500 season, but have some depth, a passionate fan base and some young talent on the way. 

Congrats to a real coaching legend who truly deserves the Eagles opportunity.
