University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown Athletics

                Pittsburgh native Quinton Davis, a two-time West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WVIAC) selection, finished his standout Pitt-Johnstown men’s basketball career ranked in the top-seven in four offensive statistical categories, including second on the Mountain Cat all-Time 3-Point Field Goals List.
                Mr. Davis joined Head Coach Bob Rukavina’s Pitt-Johnstown squad in 2005-06 after a stellar career at West Mifflin Area High School and averaged 4.9 points and 3.4 rebounds per game.  He joined the Mountain Cats’ starting line-up the following year and averaged 11.4 points and 5.0 rebounds, and led the WVIAC in 3-point field goal percentage in Pitt-Johnstown’s first season in the conference.
                As a junior in 2007-08, Mr. Davis earned Honorable Mention All-WVIAC honors after helping to lead Pitt-Johnstown to a regular season conference title and spot in the NCAA Division II East Region Tournament.  He ranked second on the team in rebounding (5.6 rpg.) and assists (4.0 apg.), and third in scoring (12.7 ppg.) and finished fifth in the WVIAC in free-throw percentage (84.3%) and sixth in steals per game (1.87 spg.).
                Mr. Davis continued to build his impressive resume as a senior in 2008-09 by being named First-Team All-WVIAC and earning a spot on the All-WVIAC Tournament Team after helping to guide the Mountain Cats to a conference tournament championship and a second straight berth in the NCAA East Region Tournament.  His 17.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game were all second on the team and his 83.5% free-throw percentage paced Pitt-Johnstown and ranked fifth in the WVIAC.
                He closed out his Mountain Cat career ranked second on the Pitt-Johnstown All-Time 3-point field goals list (174), fifth in scoring (1,441 points), sixth in rebounding (611 rebounds), and seventh in assists (368 assists). Mr. Davis still ranks eighth in 3-pointers, 10^th in both rebounding and assists, and 12^th in scoring.
                In 2014-15 Mr. Davis played professionally in Jakarta, Indonesia for Laskar Drea South Sumatra in the ASEAN Basketball League and served as a liaison to Laskar Draya and a variety of stakeholders to raise awareness about basketball and the organization with the intent to increase interest and popularity for the sport in Indonesia. 
                Mr. Davis graduated from Pitt-Johnstown in December 2009 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in History and Secondary Education Citizen Citizenship and began his teaching career in 2014 in Jakarta, before serving as a social studies teacher and history, geography, civics, and moral education teacher in Conakry, Guinea from 2016-2018.
                He earned the “You Inspire Us” Award at the Career & Education Fair at National High Jakarta School in 2015.
                Mr. Davis returned to the United States in 2018 and is currently a history teacher at Fort Worth Country Day School in Fort Worth, Texas.
                Mr. Davis and his wife, Jeanelle, who served tours in Jakarta, Indonesia and Conakry, Guinea as a foreign service officer for the United States State Department, reside in Fort Worth with their daughters Quest and Qairo.
                “The University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown was the first place I spent significant time away from home, and it profoundly shaped my understanding of the world and my values as an adult,” Mr. Davis said.  “Pitt-Johnstown was a perfect fit for 17-year-old Quinton, providing a place where I could learn and grow. The education department introduced me to the professionalism essential for a career in teaching, while my studies in history exposed me to the guidance of inspiring professors like Dr. Raymond B. Wrabley, Dr. Catherine Cox, and Dr. Robert Matson, who expanded my perspective of the world.  Shortly after, I met my wife, Jeanelle, who was just beginning her journey toward a career with the State Department. Her path took us around the world, immersing me in cultural experiences that continue to inform my career to this day. Receiving this honor feels like a full-circle moment.  Finally, I’m grateful for Coach Rukavina, who believed in me when few others did. His encouragement, guidance, and genuine care had a lasting impact on my life—one I could never fully repay.”
