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.

For his efforts, Jason was also named 1st team All-Hudson County RB by the Jersey Journal and Star Ledger.

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.

The Brooklyn Skyhawks Football Club would like to send its most sincere thoughts and prayers to those families who lost loved ones 11 years ago today. These were everyday people who while at work, traveling to work, business or on vacation lost their lives due to senseless acts of terrorism.

Take time today to remember those that were taken from us and the survivors that are still suffering from the devastation of human life.

Thank you
