This past season, Davis passed longtime Mary Persons coach Dan Pitts as the winningest coach in Middle Georgia history. He trails only Lincoln County coach Larry Campbell in wins statewide.

Coach Tommy Perdue and his R. E. Lee Rebels began the 1988 season ranked # 1 in the state and maintained that position for the entire year. They finished the season with a perfect 16-0 record, a Region 4AA Championship, and the AA State Football Championship.
