The Lake Orion
lady Dragons appear to be on the right track on Tuesday’s home opener against North
Farmington .
The second ranked team in Class A Dragons completely
destroyed the Raiders in three games 25-11, 25-2, and 25-13 to improve it’s
record to 28-4-2 and 2-0 in
the Red.
Lake Orion came into tonight after beating Stoney Creek in three games at Rochester in the league opener last Thursday night.
Rachel Giwa looked like a madwoman tonight, just
dominating from serving 17 straight Dragon points to assisting like crazy on
kills and even getting some kills herself tonight.
Kayla Rockey looks like the second coming of Sophie Murdock
from the inside played very well tonight along with Hannah Murdock, Hannah Suciu,
Ally Shinouskis, and the rest of the Dragons.
Thoughts around the League:
Birmingham Seaholm looks like they are improving a bit with
a young core for Coach Heather Lippert with a 1-1 record in the Red but did
lose a four game set to Oxford tonight. The Maples have only four seniors on a
team that went to the State Quarterfinals last season and there is a lot of
time to improve between now and the postseason.
Bloomfield Hills bounced back tonight against Stoney
Creek and is 1-1 on the campaign. The Blackhawks were led by their
bigs up front and solid backcourt but defensibly could be a liability. They
allowed 44 points in the last two matches which is an alarming stat.
The Cougars will be fine and should get some wins in league. Stoney Creek's league schedule is brutal with having to play Utica Eisenhower in non league and then Lake Orion, Bloomfield Hills, and now they get to go to Clarkston on Thursday in a pre district preview because Stoney Creek drew the Wolves in the first round at Clarkston. Talk about brutal.
The
Raiders are very young and inexperienced but have some nice peaces to work with. It could be a long year for Coach
Jessica Concedi and her team though and an alarming stat here is that North Farmington against Clarkston and Lake Orion has had single point games this season (Clarkston-eight, Lake Orion-two.) That has to change if the Raiders want to compete this season.
The Colts are a much different team without their
top hitter Olivia Parks who is out for the season to a torn ACL and have
struggled to find consistency this season but for coach Vince Muscatt, he wants to see his team compete. They still have a shot in districts when you look at it even though Avondale and Troy Athens look like the teams to beat and you can't count out the Waterford schools (Waterford Kettering and Waterford Mott.)
