The Dragons volleyball team continued to have success this season, but sometimes second place has been very difficult to deal with and frustrating.
This weekend the Dragons went to Portage Central in Portage, near Kalamazoo to compete in a very tough pool in the Portage Central Invitational tournament, and this weekend they proved why they are ranked third in Class A.
Lake Orion knocked off six top teams in the state of Michigan from three different classes. They include Livonia Ladywood (fourth in Class B), Richland Gull Lake, Rockford (top team in Class A), Birmingham Marian (fourth in Class A), Plainwell (top team in Class B, and Fruitport (fifth in Class B) to get to the championship game against top ranked Rockford.
Sadly the third ranked Dragons ran out of gas in the final against the Rams. The Dragons suffered their sixth loss of the season when they fell 25-22 and 25-23 to the Rams.
The Dragons returned to league action after suffering the loss to Rockford in Portage took out all their anger and frustration on the Rochester Falcons in Rochester. Orion rolled past Rochester 25-20, 25-11, and 25-17 Tuesday Night.
Orion was led by Senior Shannon Murdock's 14 kills while Senior Maddie Hutchinson had 11 digs and Senior Dana Schrauben had 12 assists and five digs for the victory over the Falcons.
Lake Orion will not be done seeing Rochester's gym. They will be playing districts on Rochester's home turf along with the Falcons, Rochester Adams, Stoney Creek, and Oxford.
The Dragons are now 28-6-1 overall and 3-0 in OAA Red play, their next match is a huge one as they travel to Birmingham on October 4th and take on the Birmingham Seaholm Maples and Miss Michigan Volleyball candidate Paige Neudenfelt awaits the Dragons. The season is already underway and there are more fireworks ready to come this upcoming season
