Shock quarterback Davila set to return

Quarterback Nick Davila, who threw for a franchise-record 2,935 yards and 66 touchdowns last season, will return for the 2009 Spokane Shock, the af2 team announced Thursday.

Davila is the sixth member of the National Conference championship team to re-sign with the team.

“Without a doubt, Nick is one of the premier quarterbacks in the game,” Shock head coach Adam Shackleford said. “He had multiple offers in the AFL, but when that wasn’t an option any longer, he knew that playing in Spokane was the best move to make. I have never been around a quarterback who works harder on the field and in the film room.”

In 13 regular-season games, Davila completed 67 percent of his passes with nine interceptions. He finished third in the league in passing efficiency (119.2).
