The 2017 Journey of Davison Basketball
Throughout two critical injuries, and a team that used their bond to keep together during games, the boys and girls basketball season had a ending that seemed to close for comfort.
For the boys team, they had a hot start but when Cade Coleman was injured with a broken ankle, and Jaylen Rutherford following soon after with Turf Toe, they saw a flash of darkness but when Rutherford came back he picked up where he left off. The guys were on a 8 game hot streak, but when they turned to Jaylen for a huge dunk, unfortunately, due to a hard block, Rutherford fell and broke his arm, back came Coleman and picked up some slack of Rutherford’s absence. The guys finished off their regular season 17-4 (9-2 Conference). On March 6th, they traveled to Kearsley High School and took on Saginaw Arthur Hill (12-5) for a district title and took an unfortunate loss 64 to 55.
And for the girls team, they had a struggled start and eventually found an inner bond that brought them closer to victories as the season continued. They finished 3rd in the conference underneath Flint Carman-Ainsworth and Lapeer. They faced Clio in districts and also fell 51 to 40.
Both teams had an amazing season and throughout the fight they remembered how much of a family they are.
Bowling State Championships
Davison Cardinal boys and girls varsity bowling teams have been conquering the lanes with 7 wins combined from both teams.

In addition, Taylor Davis won an individual title in 2016 with a score of 479-410. Taylor Davis also bowled a 300 in the state finals last season. The boys have won 2 individual championships by Tylor Greene in both 2010 and 2012. With team effort the boys bowled a 300 game in the conference finals this season. The boys and the girls both have great bonding, which leads to their amazing wins. The boys and girls both continue to win and are going to the state finals this year to bring home another one.
