One more TD to complete one more comeback sums up Osseo in 2015

Year: 2015

"After that Totino-Grace game, we knew anything was possible. We knew we could make some plays." — Damario Armstrong, Osseo safety and receiver.

Osseo put an exclamation point on the best season in team history.

The Orioles, accustomed to comebacks, won again in dramatic fashion, defeating East Ridge 14-13 in the Class 6A championship. They rallied from a two-touchdown fourth-quarter deficit to beat Totino-Grace in the semifinals.

Prince Kruah scored on a 4-yard sweep, his 43rd carry of the night, with 24 seconds remaining to give Osseo the victory. Kruah finished with 189 yards rushing.

"I wanted the ball so badly," said Kruah, whose performance stood far taller than his 5-7 frame. "My heart was beating so badly there. It was, 'Give the ball to me. I'll get those 4 yards.' "

Osseo went 79 yards on 16 plays on the game-winning drive. Kruah carried the ball eight times, absorbing considerable punishment but always bouncing back.

"As soon as I get home, I'm getting in the ice bath," Kruah said.
