The Dragons will renew a rivalry with a familiar foe on Thursday night in Rochester Adams at Orion.
The Highlanders come in at 1-0 destroying Rochester 38-6
last week. Adams coach Tony Patrino runs a veer offense. The veer offense is a
triple option offense very similar to what Georgia Tech, Navy, and Nebraska
back under Bo Pelini and Tom Osbourne used to run.
Orion holds a 19-13 edge on the Highlanders in the all-time
series. This will be the first meeting between the rivals since Adams beat the
Dragons 30-26 in 2014.
Adams has a Division One recruit in Vincent Gray. Gray committed
to Missouri as a defensive back will likely get the Dragons top wide receiver.
He also play wide receiver as well and catches the football really well in a veer offense. The Highlanders also have running back
and linebacker Steven Roncelli. Roncelli was very instrumental running the
football last week against the Falcons. Zach Soldan is the team’s quarterback,
taking over for Kyle Wood. He did pretty well against Rochester last week.
Line play will be a key to this game, Orion is a much
different team than Rochester for Adams but the Highlanders are a much
different team for the Dragons than Chippewa Valley. Time possession is key,
both teams want to run the football. Whomever wins the time possession battle
will win this football game.
This will be a fun game to watch.
