One play, just one play that described the entire football game Friday night as Clarkston and
On that play that changed the entire game, and two different seasons, it was 10-7 Wolves, with about three minutes left in the fourth quarter when Clarkston quarterback Tyler Scarlett on a fourth down and 17 at the Lake Orion 31 yard line threw the football to his star running back Dakota Bender, as he leaped past Dragon strong safety Vinny Booker in the end zone grabbing it for a touchdown. At the end of the game it was 17-7 in favor of Clarkston over Orion.
After the touchdown, the Wolves side was cheering and went insane, while the Dragons side was dejected, down, and disappointed that not only did they saw their season come to an end after a touchdown like that, but also the high expectations they had after reaching the State Finals last year.
It was the second time in two weeks that the Wolves defeated the Dragons, but this one really hurts if you are a Dragon supporter, player, alumni or fan, because this was the playoffs and there is no third chance at playing Clarkston again in football, but there is other sports like Basketball, Wrestling, Track, and Baseball to get back at Clarkston. Just have to wait until next year when Clarkston comes to
If Bender didn’t make the catch for the touchdown for the Wolves, the Dragons would have had the ball at their own 31 yard line, with a chance to win the game and perhaps get their revenge on Clarkston and also possibly advance into the district finals but unfortunately it was not to be.
Now Clarkston moves onto the district final. The Wolves will play Romeo Friday night at Clarkston, while the Dragons head to the off-season with some questions that need to be addressed before next season, and what would be too many Dragons fans this season, a disappointment after the miraculous trip to the State finals just a season ago.
