Usually, Miah Davis is up in the morning before his son.

But not Friday.

And not with the news that came to light around town.

Even  with No. 1 national recruit Tyran Stokes across the water in Seattle,  it was junior guard Jalen Davis who racked up one of the state’s best  postseason boys basketball honors: 2025-26 Gatorade state player of the year.

“He  woke me up — and he’s usually not up that early,” said Miah Davis, also  the Knights’ coach. “He said, ‘Dad, is this real, is this true?’”

Also a member of VarsityWA’s all-classification all-state first team,  Davis averaged 30.0 points, 8.9 rebounds, 5.1 rebounds and 4.7 assists  per game in leading Bremerton to back-to-back WIAA Class 2A  championships.

Still, with Stokes — who transferred to  Rainier Beach in November from California — around, many figured it was a  forgone conclusion the top prospect would nab that award.

Not so fast.

Miah  Davis had his own high-profile ace in the hole contribute in the  application process — alumnus Marvin Williams, a 

former Gatorade state  MVP and McDonald’s All-American who played in the NBA.

Williams wrote a letter of recommendation on Jalen Davis’ behalf.

“They have a good relationship,” Miah Davis said.
