The Chillicothe Football Program has officially been inducted into the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame as a part of the 2020 class of inductees. Around 70 former players and coaches covering seven decades and from several states were on hand and joined former player and coach Phil Willard on stage for the recognition.
Willard said the Hall of Fame honor can be shared by many people on the field and behind the scenes.
One of those attending the ceremony was one of Chillicothe’s most successful players, Butch Davis. He talked with KCHI about how Fairchild made the Hornets a dominate force in Missouri High School Football
Davis played for the late Coach Bob Fairchild in 1964, 65 and 66, then went on to play for University of Missouri and professionally as a Defensive Back for Chicago in 1970.
