Steve Davis grew up in Southeast Kansas and earned his Bachelor Degree from the College of the Ozarks in Point Lookout, Missouri.  He began his teaching and coaching career in Viburnum, Missouri and in 1990, was hired at Potosi R-3 where he taught and coached for 25 years until his retirement in 2015.  While at Potosi, Davis helped guide the Cross Country and Track teams to 15 State trophies, which included 7 State titles in Cross Country and 2 State titles in Track.  Coach Davis’ athletes earned over 100 All-State performances in the two sports, highlighted by 21 individual and 4 relay team State Champions.  The 2006 Potosi Cross Country team still holds the State record for the lowest boy’s team score at the Missouri State Meet with 16 points.  That same team is also still the only Missouri Cross Country team to earn the right to compete at the Nike National Cross Country Meet where they placed 8^th in the nation.  In addition to receiving several Missouri, National Federation, and J-98 Dream Team Coach of the Year awards, Coach Davis was inducted into the Missouri Cross Country and Track Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 2009.
