With wins on the basketball court Friday night, Robertsdale head coach Marshall Davis secured career victory No. 200 and the Bayside Academy Admirals clinched a share of the regular-season title from Class 4A Area 1.

Following a Thursday victory, the Foley girls’ basketball team wrapped up its regular-season area title with a 4-0 mark in Class 7A Area 2 after recently checking in at No. 7 in the Alabama Sports Writers Association’s state poll.

The Lions beat the Daphne Trojans 48-42 to finish 4-0 in the group and will close the regular season Monday on the road.

Davis earns 200th Golden Bear victory

All 200 of Davis’ career wins have come as head boys’ basketball coach of the Robertsdale squad which moved to 19-8 overall and 3-2 within Class 6A Area 2 this season after a 57-43 win over Baldwin County. The Golden Bears head to Spanish Fort for the area finale Tuesday night where the Toros will enter with a 2-3 area record.

Davis took over before the 2008-2009 season and has made five trips to the regional tournament including an area championship in 2010.

Bayside Academy grabs share of area title

One season removed from back-to-back winless area campaigns, the Admirals finished off a 5-1 mark in Class 4A Area 1 with a 51-45 win over Orange Beach on the road to clinch a share of the regular-season area title with the UMS-Wright Bulldogs.

The Admirals’ area-opening win over UMS-Wright, 45-38 on Jan. 6, kicked off an undefeated first round of area play. The Bulldogs evened the season series 37-31 on Jan. 20 but by winning the last two over St. Michael and now Orange Beach, Bayside Academy can call itself an area champion in the first year under head coach Jonathan Vines.

The Admirals join the No. 5 Fairhope Pirates and No. 9 Snook Christian Eagles in wrapping up regular-season area titles.
