PLNU Athletics mourns the loss of the legendary Hall of Famer John Davis, who passed away over the weekend.
 
Davis was an inaugural member of the PLNU Athletics Hall of Fame, Class of 1982, after excelling in three sports (basketball, baseball and track & field) for Pasadena College from 1951-54.
 
During his standout basketball career, Davis was the second-leading scorer in Crusaders' history with over 2,200 points, while averaging over 20 points per game for his career.
 
He led PC to the District III championship and NAIA National Tournament in 1952-53 with a 34-2 record that season.
 
An esteemed member of the legendary "Firehouse Five", Davis also earned NAIA All-American honors in 1953-54, leading Pasadena to another District III title and back to the NAIA National Tournament.
 
Over his four-year PC basketball career, Davis' Crusaders accumulated an 86-19 overall record.
 
In baseball, Davis played nearly every position and was a consistent fixture in the Crusaders' lineup, while consistently winning on the track in the 220-yard dash.
