Humans of Northwood: Machai Davis ‘25

“I am a 3-year senior hailing from Bermuda. I am a part of the U-19 boys soccer team and hope to attend college through soccer recruitment. I am enjoying my time at Northwood and would not change it for the world. I will remember it for the rest of my life. There have been many difficulties, but the community has always been there for me.

“I came to Northwood because the head coach of the soccer team, Jon Moodey, recruited me. I met Coach Moodey when I was around 13 years old when he came to my club in Bermuda. I visited numerous schools in Connecticut, but COVID slowed the process. Years later, I got the opportunity to come to Northwood, and it was something I could not turn down.

“My favorite part of Northwood is Winter Carnival without a doubt. This is the time of the year when the school spirit is highest, and everyone comes together.

“My goals for the year are to be consistent both academically and athletically, which, after my previous two years, I feel that I have down to a T. My biggest motivation for achieving these goals is setting a good example for my younger brother [Kimani Davis, 26’], who also attends Northwood.”
