Davis having a quiet, big season for Jays

Guthrie sophomore Luke Davis is having one of those years that many may not know what the 2-sport letterman is doing. Although, it should be screaming at us.

Luke Davis had 112 tackles for the Jays and is a main stay in the No. 2 spot of the Jays batting line up.

Sure Kentrell Brothers is getting national attention for his recruiting, Bryan Dutton has been a staple in three sports this season, Dustin Bohanan’s is being named to some unique football lists, Emmanuel Robinson wins every race he compete’s in, but Davis just seems to get the job done quietly.

The speedy Davis was among the top tacklers for the Jays football squad with 112 tackles to go along with two sacks and two interceptions.

On the baseball diamond, while I don’t have his exact numbers, but I can almost assume he has the top on base percentage and more than likely leads the team in runs scored. If not tops, then near the top.

Davis started as a freshmen for head coach Jon Chappell and gained more and more playing time for gridiron coach Rafe Watkins a season ago.

He can run, bunt, hit, sacrifice, and make the routine plays in the outfield look easy. Davis may be asked to be more of a factor on the offensive side for the football team come this fall running the ball to help the running game.

No matter what you ask him, he is going to get it done. Will it be flashy and flamboyant? Sometimes, but every time you will get 100% effort from him.

There will be plenty of news on Luke Davis come his junior and senior year, but he has already been making some as a freshmen and sophomore.

Bohanan named to Oklahoma Oil Bowl roster

Guthrie senior Dustin Bohanan has been named to play in the 73rd annual Oil Bowl. The game, featuring all-star teams from Oklahoma and Texas, will be played June 12 in Wichita Falls, Texas.

Dustin Bohanan celebrates a 51-yard punt return in the first round of the playoffs against Duncan.

Guthrie has produced athlete’s in the game’s last four seasons and seven of the last nine years. Last season, Guthrie head coach Rafe Watkins and associate head coach Kelly Beeby were selected as members of the 2009 coaching staff. However, the game was cancelled due to lighting.

Bohanan, who became Guthrie High School’s 30th All-State selection this past season, was one of five defensive backs selected for team Oklahoma.

Bohanan, who was a two-year starter for the Jays in the secondary, finished with 58 tackles and two interceptions in his senior campaign. Bohanan was also instrumental in the Jays wins over Duncan and Tulsa East Central.

The senior returned a 51-yard punt against Duncan to give the Jays a 13-0 lead and the following week returned a punt near midfield to setup Guthrie’s go ahead touchdown against East Central.

Bohanan becomes Guthrie’s 15th player in school history to be named to the list. He joins Andrew Knight Sr. (1975), Mitchell Pierce (1985), Andrew Knight Jr. (2002), Kyle Smith (2003), Demarko Jones (2003), Keenan Webb (2003), David Washington (2004), Demarcus Davis (2007), Jonathan Washington (2008), Kent McDonald (2008), Kye Staley (2008), Keaton Callins (2009), Donte’ Foster (2009), and Skyler Smith (2009).
