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.

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.
