He brings a wealth of football knowledge and Louisville tradition with him.” said Louisville Athletic Director, Terrie Horn. “Many of our players are familiar with Coach Davis since he was on the coaching staff two years ago and coached our current sophomores and juniors. We look forward to a smooth transition as Troy uses his passion to continue the excellence and legacy of Louisville football that is so well known throughout Stark County.”
When asked why he wants to be the next head football coach of the Louisville Leopards, Davis stated, “It is my hope to build the student-athletes of Louisville High School into young adults, ready to excel in all they do.”
Ms. Shaffer, superintendent said, “Finding a candidate who truly understands the rich traditions of Louisville football was a strong factor considered when searching for our new head coach.
