Dragons Football In Deep-Deep Trouble.

Written Friday September 1st at 12:05 AM

The Dragons are in deep-deep trouble right now.

You can kiss playoffs goodbye for now.

Discipline, lack of pressure, lack of offense, everything that went wrong gone wrong. It really spelled itself out in an ugly 39-8 home loss to Adams.

Orion’s defense was not existent against the Highlanders veer offense attack that was balanced all night.

Adams defense and offensive line were key to the Highlanders victory tonight.

Adams opened the scoring after a roughing the kicker penalty gave the Highlanders new life behind a five yard touchdown run from Steven Roncelli. Adams would then get a three and out again which led to a field goal by Ben Patton making the score 10-0 Highlanders.

Adams would then get the ball back off a turnover which resulted in Chase Karleta four yard rushing touchdown making the score 17-0 Highlanders.

The Highlanders would then start the second half going down the field with their veer attack leading to a quarterback Carter Farris throwing the ball to Missouri bound wide receiver Vincent Gray for a 29 yard touchdown pass for a 24-0 lead.

Adams would then extend the lead to 32-0 after Farris found Karleta for a 26 yard touchdown pass and two point conversion from Farris to Cole Patritto.

Orion would get on the scoreboard when Dylan Frank scored from one yard out making the score 32-8. Casey Strionek would get the two point conversion on the drive.

Adams closed out the scoring when Farris found Collin Weeks from 27 yards out making the score 39-8.

Thoughts.

I couldn’t be anymore disappointed with what happened. The Orion defense was confused, looked soft, just looked awful. The Dragon offense has major issues, they don’t have a passing attack, they don’t have a true quarterback, and they are one dimensional. That won’t win games.

This team is in deep trouble when you look at the schedule and it says Southfield Arts and Tech and Clarkston are still on there, and that’s not mentioning West Bloomfield whom they play next week.

I was also very disappointed with the Dragon students tonight. I felt there was a disconnect between the players and the students. The players were trying to get the students to support them, it further explains the disconnect.

I hate to say it but the Dragons are in deep trouble right now.
