T his year’s inductee is David Lipscomb High School’s former coach, Gary Davis. Gary coached at Lipscomb from 1987–2012, spanning a 26-year history. Gary’s teams won 13 district championships over those 25 years during the

regular season and 15 District Tournament Championships. Gary won 634 games during his time at the helm of the Lady Mustangs and had 11 state appearances. Under his leadership, Lipscomb won three state championships in 1993, 1994 and 1997. Not only was Gary a very dedicated coach of the Lady Mustangs, but he also trained many young ladies as their pitching coach. Also, over the 25 years at Lipscomb, the team was always known for being competitive, but also showing class on and off of the field. Coach Davis always showed that class and Christian example in everything he did. Congratulations to the TSCA’s First Hall of Fame Inductee – Coach Gary Davis.
