The Frankfort Independent Schools would like to announce the hiring of a new head
football coach at Frankfort High School. Coach Stephen ‘Yogi’ Davis comes to
Frankfort High School from his most recent coaching stint at Pikeville High School in
Pikeville, Kentucky.
Prior to joining the Frankfort High family, Coach Davis helped lead the Pikeville
Panthers to four state championship appearances with three state championship
wins in 2019, 2021, and 2023. During his tenure at Pikeville High School as the
defensive line coach and special teams coordinator, Pikeville’s defense was ranked in
the top 5 for Class A football every year - most recently, being ranked #1 to finish the
2022 season.

the Frankfort High traditions.

of the Cumberlands in Williamsburg, KY. Outside of teaching and football, Coach
Davis enjoys fishing and spending time with his wife, Lucy, and daughter, Lola.
