Hard work pays off for Davis

February 8, 2011
The Altoona Mirror

Name: Noah Davis

School: Bellwood-Antis

Age: 15

Grade: 10

Sport: Basketball

Athlete of the week achievement: Scored 23 points in a victory over Claysburg-Kimmel and followed that up with 21 points and 21 rebounds in a win over Bishop Guilfoyle.

Season update: In helping the Blue Devils to a 15-4 record, Davis is averaging 16.7 points-per game and 9.1 rebounds per game.

Coach Brent Gerwert's quote: "Obviously last week, with the two 20-point games, everything he gets is due to the hard work he puts in at the gym. He is gym rat. That is all attributed to his hard work. For what he means to us, he is only a sophomore but we look for him to score points. We run a lot of plays for him. He has the ability to score because of the work he does in the offseason and during the season."
