Denisha Davidson
New Women's Basketball Coach
St. Petersburg College has selected Denisha Davidson as the new women’s basketball coach. She replaces William Smith, who remains on the faculty at the college.
Davidson, 28, has been an assistant at Columbus State University in Columbus, Ga., for four years. She was a Graduate Assistant at Austin Peay State University for a year, where she earned her master’s degree in sports administration.
She was a two-time All-American at Division II Kennesaw State University, just north of Atlanta. Her three-year career averages at Kennesaw State were 20-points per game and 10 rebounds a game.
“I have played with a lot of different players and for a lot of different coaching styles,” she said. “I have had a lot of opportunities to see what I liked and what I didn’t like.”
Athletic Director Mark Strickland said he felt fortunate to find Davidson. “She has that youthful enthusiasm and she will run a tight ship.”
