Dr. Robert M. Davis

Bob Davis, Class of 1950, left his mark on Georgetown College as basketball, baseball and football coach and chair of the Physical Education Department. His 415 career basketball victories stood as a school record for 20 years and his 1961 team was runner-up in the NAIA National Tournament.

Kenneth B. Davis

Kenny Davis, Class of 1971, still stands as perhaps the best basketball player to ever wear a Tiger uniform. A three-time NAIA All-American, his four-year total of 3,003 points set a career record for collegians in the state of Kentucky. He still stands as Georgetown's All-Time scoring leader, nearly 30 years after his Tiger career ended. His ability on the court gave him the opportunity to represent the College on five continents and to serve in a once-in-a-lifetime role as captain of the famed 1972 U.S. Olympic Basketball Team. His efforts have been rewarded with induction into the NAIA Hall of Fame and a Georgetown College Alumni Achievement Award.

 

 

 

Donna B. Hawkins

Donna Hawkins, Class of 1965, was an exemplary student- athlete as an undergraduate student at GC. She began her teaching and coaching career at Georgetown in 1980 and has become the winningest coach in the history of the college. Her 73 percent overall winning percentage comes from 560 wins in volleyball through 1997 and 309 wins in women's softball through 1994. Her 1997 volleyball team brought home championships from the Mid-South Conference and Mid-South Region Tournaments.
