Mike "Crusher" Davis, an elite basketball star from Virginia Union University, spent three seasons with the Panthers.
As VUU’s all-time leading scorer with 2,758 points, Davis received all-conference honors each of his three years and was named the 1969 CIAA Player of the Year. "Crusher" is the all-time leading scorer in CIAA history and even more outstanding, MIKE is the fifth highest scorer in all of NATIONAL DIVISION TWO history, as recorded by the NCAA.
