Kylie Rose Davis is one of many in her family to excel at basketball. Uncle Jeff is the current varsity coach for the boy's at Corbett, Grandpa Leroy was a known athlete in his days at Corbett, and cousin Jordan was one of the top players on the court in his day. Currently cousin Conner is making buckets for the varsity team as well. Kylie moved here in 4th grade with her family after her parents wanted to get back to their roots. Both Jay and Valerie were raised in Corbett themselves and wanted to raise Kylie and her brother here as well. Jay is a gifted builder and built the home they are currently living in. During the building process they stayed in the basement apartment of their family, Jeff and Cindy Smith. Kylie is currently working at LA Fitness athletic club in Gresham as a receptionist and is also attending Mt. Hood Community College. Graduating last year, Kylie misses her sports days at Corbett. She played not only basketball, but also volleyball and softball as well. It is her goal to finish her education and become a elementary education teacher. Kylie says she sees herself living in Corbett as an adult. She appreciates the fact she is a part of a large extended family that mostly all reside in the area. She also appreciates the relationships she has made along the way with both kids and adults in the community. Kylie tells me that Randy Lee, her former basketball coach has played a major role in mentoring her. "He is like a second dad to me." One of her favorite memories was when she had just recovered from a bout of mono and was playing in a game against Knappa. She scored a whopping 20 points! Kylie said she was taught to be a competitive leader, and not to be selfish. Those sound like great LIFE skills!
