Terence Davis (Skyhawk '02) is currently a reshirt senior this fall at Wake Forest University. The 6'1" 195 lb. Davis has been an important weapon at WR for the Demon Deacons during his career. Wake Forest University is a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC).
Terence is currently 4th on team in receptions with 5 catches for 50 yds. He averages 16.7 yds/catch.
As a HS senior in 2007 , Terence played both quarterback and defensive back at Brookwood HS in Georgia and helped to lead his team into the second round of the State playoffs. His team spent 15 weeks in the state top 10 rankings and ended with a 14-1 record.
Terence spent the 2006 season at wide receiver but was asked to step in at QB his senior year. During his 3 varsity seasons at Brookwood, he helped the Broncos to win three (3) Region 8-5A championships.
Terence also was a prominent member of the track team in claiming the 2006 state title in the high jump (6'8"), which earned him All-Metro honors from the Atlanta Track Club.
Before his family relocated to Georgia, many Skyhawk fans remember Terence as a standout QB as he helped lead the Pee Wees to an undefeated season in 2002. He and current Hudson Catholic HS (N.J.) standout, Jason Hendricks (see profile below) , hooked up for a remarkable 60 yard pass in the closing seconds which sealed the championship for the Skyhawks.
Terence has Skyhawks in his blood as he is the sone of former Skyhawk Kevin Knight and nephew of former Skyhawk and coach Kendall Knight.
We wish Terence the best in his career.
Make us Proud!!!

Jason and the Hawks reached the Non-Public Group II Championship game vs the Holy Cross HS (Delran, NJ). Unfortunately Hudson Catholic played a tough game vs the Lancers and loss by a score of 7-0. This marked the 1st time in school history that they reached a State Championship game.
In 2007, Jason led his team in rushing with over 900 yards and scored 10 tds. On defense, Jason anchored the Hawks secondary with his tough hitting and ball-hawking abilities.

Jason competed on the track team during his junior year and has run the 55 meter dash in 6.50 seconds.
As a Skyhawk, Jason helped to lead his teams to four chamionship games from his Jr. Pee Wee years through his Midget years. Jason will forever be remembered for his performance in the 2002 Championship game when he caught a short pass from QB Terence Davis (see profile above) and sprinted 60 yards for the winning tochdown with under a minute left in the game. That completed an Undefeated season for the Pee Wees.
We wish Jason continued success in his career at the University of Pittsburgh.
