The Orion Dragons coming off two 4-5 seasons will have to
deal with some adversity heading into the 2016 football season.
The Dragons have some questions coming into this season as
they look to get back to the playoffs for the first time since 2013 especially
at the defensive line, secondary, and quarterback.
Orion enters a new Red division this upcoming season, here
are some of the story-lines coming into the season.
Southfield Arts and Tech whom merged Southfield and Lathrup
together. They will have a very talented team back this season.
Stoney Creek has a new coach in Bob Lantzy, whom was very
successful at Utica Eisenhower for 41 seasons. The Cougars beat Orion 21-14
last season as well.
West Bloomfield has outscored the Dragons 62-0 and beaten
them the last two meetings.
Troy Athens shocked Orion 21-14 on a 62-yard touchdown pass. They will be loaded on offense this season.
Oxford will always be tough.
Clarkston is well Clarkston.
Non League teams include Bloomfield Hills and Seaholm won't be easy especially with both of those games being on the road.
Notice the trend here???
There will be no games off for this program. Maybe they need
this type of schedule to help them.
They open up the season with Chippewa
Valley at Wayne State on August 25th. The Big Reds have beaten the
Dragons the last two meetings, including a 35-28 win last season and 38-35 the
year before.
We’ll see what happens.
