FOOTBALL: Davis Steps Down At Patrick Henry

Bryan Davis announced Monday that he will not return as head football coach at Patrick Henry, ending a three-year tenure which saw Davis take the Patriots to the 5A North Region playoffs twice, in 2014 and 2016, and earning the program's first playoff win in nine years last November.

"I am very proud of all that we have accomplished here at Patrick Henry over the past three years. I think we've laid a terrific foundation through hard work and integrity for future generations of Patriots at PHHS.

It is with a heavy heart that I have decided not to coach next season here at PH. I thank everyone, especially the players and coaches, for all of their dedication and for all of the great memories. I'll forever be a Patriots fan. PRIDE, WORK, WIN...Everyday!!!"
