Deb Davis
Deb kept the scorebook for girls basketball games for a total of 17 years. This included three years at Lincoln Junior High and 14 years for Plymouth High School.

He was always adorned in his Big Red clothes when attending an athletic event.
He loved to wear his Big Red sweatpants with his name on them. His favorite pregame meal at football, basketball, and baseball games was a hot dog and a red Powerade. A plaque adorns the seat he always sat in while attending a Plymouth Pilgrim baseball game at Bill Nixon Field in Centennial Park.
