The Lions made it six-in-a-row over arch-rival Beachwood on Saturday afternoon with a thrilling shootout! Orange prevailed 60-50 in one of the highest scoring games in program history. Loaded with athletes, Beachwood jumped out in front early. At one point the Bison were up 27-7 early in the 2nd quarter. Sophomore DaJuan White sparked the Lions with a 99 yd kickoff return for a TD. From that point on, the Lions would focus on the word RESILIENT.

Orange clawed their way back to a 34-34 tie with 5 seconds left before halftime before the defense allowed a long score to head to the locker room down by 7. At that point, the offense continued to roll and the defense tightened up.

The offense scored 8 touchdowns to go along with White's KOR to accumulate their 60 points. Senior RB DaeShawn Henderson had a career day with 158 yds and 3 TDs, including a huge 73 yard dash. Senior WR Rayshawn Watkins had 2 TD catches and Rhonald Houston added a 60 yard catch and run TD. Junior QB Stephen Borgman had another impressive day throwing 21 of 27 for 285 yds and 3 TDs while adding 2 rushing scores.

The Lions travel to CVCA on Thursday night for their third road game of the year before coming home for the first game on new turf in week 4.
