BRAD DAVISON
Maple Grove • football

The passes the 6-3 senior QB was throwing Thursday against Osseo looked good. Problem was, for the first 15 minutes, they were landing in the wrong hands.
But Davison recovered from two early interceptions and showed why he was selected as the QB on the Star Tribune Preseason Dream Team. He completed 11 of 22 passes for 166 yards and a TD and rushed 25 times for 160 yards and two touchdowns as Maple Grove rallied from a 13-0 deficit — one Davison helped create — to defeat archrival Osseo 23-13.
It's the first time since 2009 that Maple Grove has defeated Osseo on the field (it won by forfeit due to an ineligible player in 2012).
"He struggled early, but it was a great growing game for him because he had to say 'Hey, it's me. I have to get this thing back' and he did," coach Matt Lombardi said. "Brad is a great player, a three-year starter for us, and he showed a lot of leadership."
While Davison's arm never has been in question, it was his legs that made the difference in the game. On designed runs and improvised scrambles, he opened eyes with his ability pick up yards in chunks, including a 46-yard game-clinching TD run in the fourth quarter.
"We've got two really good runners," Lombardi said. "We've got [RB Ryan] Hanscome. And we've got Brad."
