About Me
- JAMAHL DAVIS RIVERWOOD HIGH SCHOOL
- I am a Senior in High School, orginally from Los Angeles CA, currently residing in Atlanta GA. I am a Varsity Point Guard at Riverwood International Charter School. My overall goal is to earn a scholarship at a college, where I can further my education earning a college degree, and playing basketball at a competitive level. I try to volunteer as often as I can, I am committed to giving back to the community and others in need. I believe in hard work and dedication and I am always looking for growth in things that I take value in. One of my favorite quotes that I stand by: "The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." — Martin Luther King Jr.

Male Athlete of the Week - Jamahl Davis
Riverwood

Senior point guard Jamahl Davis waited in the wings to take a position of leadership with the Riverwood boys’ basketball team.
In his final season with the Raiders, he’s running with the chance to be their captain, floor general and top scorer as Riverwood tries to return to the Class AAA state playoffs for the first time since 2010, when it advanced to the quarterfinals.
“He’s kind of waited for the opportunity to take control of the team,” said Riverwood coach Buck Jenkins. “Last year, Mitch Alterman was the captain and he led the team. This year was Jamahl’s year, and he stepped up.”
Davis scored 22 points in the Shane’s Rib Shack Classic championship game, a 57-53 overtime victory over Newnan Dec. 29, giving the Raiders three wins in three days and a shot of momentum with the bulk of their Region 5-AAA schedule on slate.
He’s averaging a team-best 15.4 points, making him the only player on the balanced offense in double figures. He also leads Riverwood with 4.4 assists per contest.
“He’s running the show,” Jenkins said. “It’s not just his scoring that’s been impressive. He’s running the team, and he’s getting other guys involved. He’s really grown into that leadership role.”
