The Orion Class of 2015 has suffered another setback when it came to athletics in a sound of disappointing seasons this school year.

The Dragons baseball team was eliminated from the state playoffs with a 5-2 loss to Rochester Adams at home in the pre-district on Tuesday. The team was not the same since they beat Clarkston twice in the middle part of the season despite the fact they shared the Red with Rochester Adams.

This class was the first to miss the 2015 state playoffs in football for the first time since 2000 going 4-5 and losing on homecoming for the first time since then as well.

This class suffered through a 4-17 boys basketball campaign last winter.

The girls volleyball team won 60 games during the regular season but suffered a disappointing three game sweep to Clarkston on its home floor in the district finals.

The girls basketball team won 13 games but lost a tough district semifinal game to Rochester Adams on it's home floor.

Girls soccer had a strong season but ran into a very good Stoney Creek team that featured six college players. Boys soccer had it's ups and downs last fall.

The girls softball team had high expectations to go deep into the state playoffs but ran into Clarkston in the district finals, losing on their home field.

Track all though young in the boys took fourth in the regional for the boys, eighth in the county, and did win another Red title. The girls, still young, struggled at county but did take fourth at the regional.

Wrestling although young had a tough transition but had some questionable losses in the White as a team but ran into Oxford and Adams in a tough pre-district.

Boys Lacrosse had a brutal schedule and had a losing record but playing in the Red and likely state champion Birmingham Brother Rice will do it to you. On a side note they did beat Oxford in the pre-district playoffs.

Yes a lot of blame can be put on this class, maybe they weren't talented enough, maybe they played below expectations, and chemistry could had been an issue as well.

There was some success if you count that Hockey went to the regional championship game, Girls Bowling won an Oakland County Championship in the winter, Girls Lacrosse went to the regional finals before losing to a very good Hartland team.

Most of these teams are young and talented in the lower levels and their is a strong eighth grade class coming from Scripps, Waldon, and Oakview but senior leadership is key for any team to be successful.

The 2015 class does have a lot to be proud of as they graduate from Orion with their high school diplomas. Players and students will be going to college next season to chase their dreams, even though they will go their separate ways, once a Dragon, always a Dragon.
