SMYRNA, TN (April 27, 2007) --- Davis Warner, a 6-foot-6 senior forward at Smyrna High School has signed a letter of intent to attend Milligan College and play basketball for the Buffaloes. 

Warner, ranked among Tennessee’s top 45 players according to Tennessee Prep Hoops Scouting Service, averaged 14 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists as a senior. He was named to the all-conference, all-county and all-district teams.

Milligan head coach Tony Wallingford is happy to have Warner join the Buffs. “We really liked Davis’ versatility. He’s strong around the basket while also possessing a nice shooting touch from the perimeter. Davis is an excellent passer from the forward spot as well.”  

Warner joins a Milligan team that finished this past season with a 22-9 record. The Buffs have won 8 conference championships and made 3 national tournament appearances since 1990. Wallingford has accumulated over 500 wins in 24 seasons as a collegiate head coach and is Milligan’s all-time winningest basketball coach.

“Davis is a good fit for our program and style of play. He’s got a load of potential and we look forward to working with him,” Wallingford concluded.

Warner will enroll in the fall and plans a major in business.
