The Dragons got their first win for coach John Blackstock as the team beat the Troy Athens Red Hawks 26-6 at Troy on Friday night on Troy Athens Homecoming.
The first half went perfect on the night for Orion as Blaze
Laurer (nine for 14 for 81 yards) connected with Pierce Burke on the Dragons
first drive of the game from 28 yards out for a 7-0 Orion lead.
Orion would then strike again as Laurer connected with Casey
Strionek on a seven-yard touchdown pass for a 14-0 lead.
The Dragons would then get an interception from Chad Dolland
which led to a Laurer ten-yard touchdown run for a 21-0 lead.
Orion would close a strong first half with a Parker Blust 35-yard
field goal making the score 24-0 at the half.
The Dragons did not fare well in the second half which
resulted in two Dylan Frank fumbles and an ejection which gave the Red Hawks
some life as Bobby Birney found Patrick Graham for a 26-yard touchdown pass
however the two-point conversion failed making the score 24-6.
Orion would then get a safety late in the game as Sam Kinnie
made a sack on Birney making the score 26-6.
This win gives the Dragons their first on the season at 1-3.
They are still in a tough spot and it doesn’t get any easier. Orion plays
Southfield Arts and Tech at home next week.
We’ll see what happens.
