GAME SUMMARY

Taking over on the St. Cloud 25 following a 12-yard punt, Malcolm Davidson gave Osceola a 7-0 lead on a 12-yard touchdown run. One series later, Quayvon Brown stepped in front of a Colt Smith pass and returned it 32 yards for a score. St. Cloud would then fumble and a Jakoby Thomas' 10-yard touchdown run made it 21-0. St. Cloud would rally in the third quarter. A Smith 1-yard run cut the deficit to 21-6 before Seth Johnson bulled over from the one to make it a 21-12 game. The Bulldogs would then get a turnover, only to see a 15-yard personal foul wipe out a 40-yard pass play and thwart a scoring drive. Osceola, which rushed for 235 yards, was led by Davidson (11-94) and was named MVP. Osceola went on to win the game 34-18, for the 11th win in a row and against St. Cloud to remain undefeated.
