The Dragons came out on all cylinders yet again on homecoming night.

Behind three turnovers the top ranked and second ranked team in the state Lake Orion Dragons handled the seventh ranked Rochester Falcons 42-7 on Friday night.

The Dragons came into the contest averaging 41.5 points per game and allowing 8.5 points per game. The Falcons meanwhile allowed 17.7 points per game and scored 18 points per game.

The last time Lake Orion lost on Homecoming was in 1997. The Dragons still trail the Wolves in the state rankings. They will get that opportunity on October 12th at Lake Orion.

The most points Rochester (4-2, 3-2 Red) allowed was 24 points in a loss to Clarkston, tonight it was 42 points.

Lake Orion (6-0, 5-0 Red) got things started quickly on the opening drive scoring on a 14 play 72 yard drive with slot receiver Chris Leigh’s nine yard touchdown run to make it 7-0 Dragons.

The Dragons would then get a fumble recovery in Falcons territory and three plays later slot back Cory Ester found the end zone to make it 13-0 Lake Orion.

The Falcons then went down the field and answered with two seconds in the first half as quarterback John Doroshewitz found star receiver Manny Mendoza on a 18 yard touchdown pass down the southeast corner of the Dragons end zone making it 13-7 Lake Orion.

Lake Orion would then answer quickly as running back Jacob Miller scored from one yard out and quarterback Derrick DeLaura found wide receiver Chaz Miller for a two yard two point conversion to make it 21-7 Dragons.

Oh wait it gets better.

Dragons cornerback Nick Booker then intercepted Doroschewitz and took the ball back to the house for 38 yards for a touchdown making the score 28-7 Lake Orion.

In the second half, Lake Orion then got a 50 yard touchdown run from Ester and a 42 yard run from Miller to wrap up the scoring.

Jacob Miller finished with 114 yards and one score while Ester had 62 yards and two scores for the Dragons rushing attack.

Lake Orion will move on to a Saturday afternoon showdown at Wisner Stadium against the Pontiac Phoenix (1-5, 1-4 Red) for a 2 PM kickoff. This is Pontiac’s homecoming so this will be a packed house against a powerhouse opponent, we’ll see what happens.
