Scot Davis"I really appreciate the people at Heelan and made many friendships there," Davis said of his previous assignment at the Catholic school in Sioux City, where he helped Heelan establish a new school record for dual wins in a season in his lone campaign at 29-6. The old record was 26 victories set the prior season.
However, Davis expressed some frustration, saying, "There was some disappointments with coaches I wanted to hire and people I wanted to get there and it wasn't (Heelan's) fault but it just didn't work out.â€
Davis welcomes the challenge awaiting him at Westwood High.
"This is a great opportunity at this small town that has a program that is already successful. Talking with their coaching staff and athletic director there is nothing but positives there and they have 40 kids out in grades nine through 12."
Westwood High is located in Sloan, Iowa, a town of less than 1,000 residents about a dozen miles south of Sioux City.
Davis previously had a 25-year coaching tenure at the high school in Owatonna, Minnesota, before stops at Kalispell, Montana and Eden Prairie, Minnesota.
"Some of the best times I have had have been as a small school in a little town," Davis said. "I have been a college coach, I have coached at a school of 3,000, but some of my best memories are at a small school."
