The one who started it all for West Point!

Bubba Davis is a name Mississippi high school football will always respect — born and raised in West Point, he built a coaching career that spans over four decades in this state. Davis won four state titles at West Point in the 1980s, cementing his name among the legends of the Golden Triangle. His coaching journey carried him through New Albany, Wayne County, Columbus High, Immanuel Christian, and eventually Starkville Academy alongside Jeff Terrill. Colleagues describe him as an old-school football mind who teaches fundamentals — the kind of coaching that builds programs, not just seasons. Few coaches can say they've shaped as many players and programs across Mississippi as Bubba Davis has over 40-plus years on the sideline.

🏆 **Not One But Two…The Wait Is Over!**

On Episode 07 of **Worth The Listen**, we sit down with **Calhoun City Wildcats Head Coach Daren Coffey** for a conversation about the journey, the setbacks, the culture—and finally reaching the mountaintop.

After more than two decades of pouring into young athletes, 500+ career basketball wins, deep playoff runs, and years of chasing the ultimate prize, Coach Coffey finally added **STATE CHAMPION** to his résumé. 🏀🏆

But this conversation goes much deeper than basketball.

Coach Coffey talks about building a program from the **youth level to the varsity floor**, keeping basketball alive in the community, developing generations of Wildcats, overcoming playoff heartbreak, the evolution of rivalries with **Bruce, Houston**, and Okolona, his success in track & field, leadership beyond athletics—and what the future may hold.

This is a conversation about **patience, perseverance, purpose, community and finishing what you started.**
