Is there a silver line to the disrespect that both the Lake Orion boys and girls basketball teams have been getting recently. Projections are projections in my books. Well the records are pretty much misleading when it comes to competition, but when league play comes for both Orion teams all bets are off.
Lets start with the boys, last year was a disaster 3-17, let the coach go and start over new. This season the Dragons were picked to finish last in the Oakland Activities Association White division, but a recent 72-57 victory over Bloomfield Hills Lasher has proven otherwise. This season I predicted that the Dragons could go 15-5 or 14-6, and I still believe that they can go 15-5 or 14-6. They have a new coach in Mike Shafakalas, and the players seem to be very happy with the way everything has been going so far. The next three games are tough those with games against Avondale on Friday on the road, Southfield at home Tuesday, and a trip into Livingston County against Hartland on Wednesday.
Now onto the girls, the transition has smoothed for the Dragons, and a recent victory over Adams proved that with a 46-33 win over the Highlanders. This team I guarantee is going to surprise a lot of people, and if it hasn't look out. The Lady Dragons are 4-0 with wins over the top two teams projected to compete for the Oakland Activities Association White division crown in Avondale, and also Stoney Creek. Also they did beat Oxford, and now Adams. Now they go on and complete the three game Rochester school trip with an Oakland Activities Red division rival Rochester on Tuesday at Rochester's gym.
Now when division play comes, we may never know where the season is heading for both teams, but so far it's on the right path, as we head into the month of December and also Christmas time. Also this season I expect a lot of media people to take Lake Orion a little bit more seriously as the season progresses on.
