This Orion Dragons volleyball team could be for real this season after not making it out of the district since 2011 when they went to the state finals.
In it's history however they have not been able to win the big game whether it is for the league or in the district. One team that has been mostly responsible for that is Clarkston. Last season the Wolves swept the Dragons 3-0 at home.
Orion did lose Hannah Murdock and Nicole Wehner a season ago. Murdock is now at Michigan State. The Dragons however returns a lot of talent in Natalie Wehner, Kori Varney, Wies Hurkmans, Marley Redd, Mallorie Berriman, Danielle Sargent, Molly Galvin, Leah Kalugar, and Kaitlyn Budreau.
Orion got a big boost when they got two very good players from Waterford Our Lady of the Lakes in Courtney Wightman and her sister Lindsay Wightman. Both players transferred to Orion and moved into the district in January. Both Wightman sisters were key players in the 2014 State semifinals team at Waterford Our Lady of the Lakes last season. Courntey is a senior and is commited to Oakland next season. Lindsay is a senior and could see time at liberio next season for coach Tony Scarvada.
The Dragons still will have to go through Seaholm and Clarkston. They do host the Wolves but they have to go to the hostile environment that the Maples Nest gives them in Birmingham against an experienced Seaholm team.
This could be a fun team to watch this season.
