FSPS Announces New Southside High School Head Boys Basketball Coach

Fort Smith, AR—Fort Smith Public Schools (FSPS) names Chuck Davis as the next Southside High School Head Boys Basketball Coach.  Davis has 14 years of experience in middle and high school public education coaching.

“The passion and excitement that Coach Davis displays will be evident in your first meeting with him, watching him coach up and down the court, in the classroom, and in his approach to learning the game. The impact he will have will be immediate, and I am excited about the future for the Southside basketball program,” FSPS Director of Athletics & Activities Michael Beaumont said.

Davis has served as the Clarksville High School’s Head Senior High Basketball Coach. Before that, he served as the Shiloh Christian High School’s Head Senior High Basketball Coach and Assistant Athletic Director in Springdale for three years. As a coach, Davis has made three straight regional tournament appearances, and he took Shiloh Christian High School to their first state tournament and in the Elite 8.  Davis earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology P-12, and he has teaching licenses in physical education, coaching 7-12 grades, English/Language Arts/Social Studies 4-8 grades, and Science/Mathematics 4-8 grades.

“I was fortunate to have played for Coach Brad Johnson (University of Arkansas) and Coach Beau Thompson (Farmington Athletic Director) in Junior High and Senior High before attending the University of Arkansas. I have coached at Ozark, Elkins, Shiloh Christian, and Clarksville.  I have participated in several Conference Champions seasons and State Tournament wins over the past 14 years. I look forward to working with these young men at Southside High School and bringing that winning tradition back!  Go Mavs!,” FSPS Southside Head Basketball Coach Chuck Davis said.

FSPS looks forward to welcoming Coach Davis and his family to Fort Smith!
