Chargers Win Again 

By: Garrett Jacobs 

The Orion Chargers had a great game on Friday, September 4th, when they took on the Hall Red Devils. Orion won the game 31–6 and improved their record to 2–1 on the season.

The Chargers played well on both offense and defense. Orion’s offense was able to score 31 points, while the defense did a good job stopping Hall and only allowing six points.

After losing a close game to Mendota to start the season, Orion has now won two games in a row.

The 31–6 win was a good game for Orion and gave the team some more confidence going into the next game against Riverdale. The Chargers will look to keep their winning streak going and continue improving.
