His junior year was momentous as it culminated in a state title for King's Fork. Davante was selected as a second-team all-stater.
However, it was his senior year when Davante blossomed. He surpassed the 1,000 career point mark early in the season and became the third King's Fork player to do so. He led his King’s Fork basketball team to a 24-3 record. It was the Bulldogs’ second straight undefeated season through the Southeastern District, third consecutive district tourney title, and fourth straight year reaching the Eastern Region Tournament.
While averaging 23 points (led all South Hampton Roads Group AAA players), 13 rebounds and two blocks per game as a senior, he finished his three-year varsity career with 1,431 points and 992 rebounds.
Davante piled up multiple accolades during his senior campaign:
