Three is the magic number as you can see what happened in Rochester on Friday night.

Three times fireworks blew out.

Three times Matt Krause scored.

Three times Zach Serzo scored.

Orion and Stoney Creek are now three and three.

Three turnovers were created by a belined Dragons defense.

Orion managed to gain some revenge after losing 36-7 last season only to give Stoney Creek and its very good defense their most points they allowed all season in a 40-21 victory.

Krause would score the team’s opening touchdown from 12 yards out to go up 7-0 Dragons.

Krause would then strike again from 40 yards out for a touchdown but the extra point was missed and it was 13-0 Orion.

The Cougars would add its first touchdown of the game when Scott Reader caught a touchdown pass from four yards out by Jack Allen for a 13-7 Orion lead.

Stoney Creek would have one more opportunity to close out the half with the lead, Orion was hit with a pass interference call and the defense responded by stopping the Cougars offense and pushed Stoney Creek out of bounds causing a turnover on downs keeping the score 13-7 Dragons at half.

Serzo would then get involved scoring on a 29 yard touchdown catch from Max Horneffer but the two point try was missed, making the score 19-7 Orion.

The Dragons defense would get a controversial fumble and took advantage of it thanks to a Krause ten yard touchdown run for a 26-7 Orion lead.

Stoney Creek answered with a pass from Allen to Joe Platz from 14 yards out for a touchdown and a 26-14 hole heading to the fourth quarter.

Orion would then strike again as Serzo scored his second touchdown of the night when he ran the ball from 60 yards for a 33-14 Orion lead.

The Cougars would get another touchdown from the legs of Allen from six yards out for a 33-21 Orion lead and would get the onside kick making things interesting to say the least.

The Dragons defense made another stop causing Stoney Creek to go three and out.

Serzo would then add the final exclamation point going 80 yards making the score 40-21 Orion.

Krause would finish up the game with 204 yards and three touchdowns. Serzo would have 167 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns to go along with his 29 yard receiving touchdown.

The Dragons are now 3-3, 3-2 in the Red while the Cougars fall to 3-3, 2-3 in the Red. Orion would now play at Bloomfield Hills (2-4, 2-3 Red) on Friday night.

We’ll see what happens.
