The 2021 Virginia Tech commit totaled over 400 yards of offense to go with six touchdowns. Davis, the 2019 MaxPreps National Sophomore of the Year, threw for 134 yards and three scores to go with 283 yards on the ground and three more touchdowns.
Charles King hauled in two of his passing touchdowns and sophomore
Jhalyn Bailey had the other.
5-star running back
Zachary Evans added two scores on the ground.
North Shore will face either Tompkins (Katy) or Atascocita (Humble) next week with a spot in the semifinals on the line.
