For the past two seasons, McClymonds has been right on the cusp of breaking through to the Division IV CIF State Championship bowl games. Last year, they missed out on the trip to Carson by a mere three points in a 17-14 loss to Central Catholic-Modesto. This year could be different thanks to Davidson, a junior transfer from San Ramon Valley who has been scorching opposing defenses over the Warriors’ 4-0 start.

For the past two seasons, McClymonds has been right on the cusp of breaking through to the Division IV CIF State Championship bowl games. Last year, they missed out on the trip to Carson by a mere three points in a 17-14 loss to Central Catholic-Modesto. This year could be different thanks to Davidson, a junior transfer from San Ramon Valley who has been scorching opposing defenses over the Warriors’ 4-0 start.
Davidson’s most recent effort solidified his SportStar of the Week selection after he passed for 438 yards and six touchdowns against a very good Analy team. McClymonds won the game 55-14. Two weeks earlier, Davidson passed for 216 yards and five touchdowns in a 32-22 win over Salesian. Read more about Davidson and red-hot McClymonds in the Red Zone beginning on page. 24.
IN HIS OWN WORDS: “We knew it was going to be a tough game,” Davidson said of the win against Analy. “We came out and had the right attitude and smacked them in the mouth. It was an awesome win.”
