Editor’s Note: Legendary Ruston Daily Leader Sports Editor O.K. “Buddy” Davis wrote this column on Dec. 9, 1990 about Ruston High School coaching great Jimmy “ Chick” Childress. On the weekend that a ball field was named in honor of Davis at the Louisiana Methodist Chidren’s Home, we wanted to publish this column about Childress, an orphan who grew up at the home in Ruston.
