ORDER COMMEMORATIVE PLAQUE

 

Troy Davis epitomizes the term student athlete. He is successful in the classroom and in the sports he plays.

 

Troy has been racing go-karts since 2003 -he was 5yrs old when he started. He has 33 first place, 10 2nd place, 8 3rd place and 2 4th place trophies.  He also has a 7th, 5th and 3rd place division championship trophies and 2 1st place division Championship trophies.  One in the Purple Plate Division and one in the Blue Plate Division. In 2004 he receive the "Most Improved Driver" award at the age of 6.

 

Troy is also a black belt in karate.  To get his black belt he had to go through a 3 1/2 hour testing session.  It was very intense. He has been taking karate lessons since he was 5yrs old in January of 2004 he was Student of the Month at Fournier's Leadership Karate Center and was listed in their news letter.  Troy was asked what he liked about karate and his response was "learning about respect."  Troy is also on the SWAT team at karate which stands for Special Winning Attitude Team.

 

This summer at Hoop Camp in Casco, ME he received a trophy for defensive player of the week and his team went to the finals and lost by 11 points 31-20.  It was an excellent game. 

 

He also attended Kevin Millington's camp for 2 weeks and received a Shootout Champion award. 

 

Troy has also been playing football since he was in 2nd grade.  He played in the Westbrook Tuffy Football League 3 yrs in a row his team went to the championship and unfortunately lost all 3 years.  One game he had a 95 yard touchdown.  This year he played for Windham on the Varsity and JV 5th/6th grade team. He play at least 80% of all of the varsity games and then played 100% of the JV game right afterwards.  Marty Laberge and Scott Howard were his coaches on JV and Jeff Dyke was his coach on Varsity.

 

Troy is also a dedicated and accomplished student.  He reads 20-30 minutes every night to help improve his fluency and without an argument.  He comes home from school and does his homework without being told as he wants to get his work done and done on time for himself and his teacher. 

 

Troy received organizational awards and a good citizen award.  He has a reputation is his class with his classmates as the guy who studies. 

 

Troy works hard for everything and he always wants to be better than what he is and he always does whatever it takes to be better.  His parents don't force him to do any of the stuff he does.  He does it on his own because he doesn't want anyone to think bad of him and he never wants to disappoint anyone.  He will go far with the attitude and drive that he has.
