Dragons Fall to the Wildcats.

Written Saturday September 20th, at 12:00 AM

In one instinct the Double O Trophy is in your grasp and the next moment it's gone. That’s what happened to the Dragons on Friday night in Oxford.

The Wildcats (4-0, 3-0 Red) ended up taking the trophy for the second time in four seasons in a 21-14 win over Lake Orion.

The key play was a 65 yard touchdown run by Shawn Stonerauch giving Oxford the 21-14 lead late in the fourth quarter.

Another player that was instrumental was Glacier Wallington.

Wallington had two touchdown runs, one on a bootleg from 28 yards for a 7-0 Oxford lead and a dive into the endzone from five yards out for a 14-7 Wildcats lead.

Lake Orion (2-2. 2-1 Red) meanwhile had some bright moments of it’s own as Logan Shadia powered his way into the endzone for a 7-7 tie at the half. The Dragons would also respond in the fourth on a eight yard pass from Cameron Kostiz to Nick Fox tying the score 14-14.

What hurt the Dragons was they had six chances to score in the endzone, two were from the Wildcats one yard line, all of them ended up in zero points. Also Lake Orion lost Jaylen Wiggins to due an chest injury in the third quarter.

Lake Orion will move onto next week’s homecoming match with West Bloomfield (3-1, 2-1 Red) for its homecoming. The Lakers are a dangerous team and will attempt to give the Dragons its first homecoming loss since 2000.

It’s time to rise up if you want to make the playoffs, Orion.
