By John RittenhouseThe Adrian football team got off to a good start in Red Rock Conference play by posting a 32-19 win over Ortonville Friday.Playing the Trojans in what was the home opener for AHS, the Dragons scored points in all four quarters of the game on the way to a 13-point win.Senior quarterback Levi Bullerman led the charge for Adrian, throwing one touchdown pass and running for a pair of scores to help the Dragons improve their season record to 2-0.Although the Dragons won the game by 13 points, the contest wasn’t settled until AHS scored 14 points in the final 9:41 of the game against a young, scrappy Ortonville squad."I think we might have been outplayed a little bit," said Adrian coach Randy Strand. "I think we blocked rather poorly in this game. We didn’t play extremely well at the line of scrimmage, and we won’t be able to get away with that this week."Adrian’s defense drew first blood in the game after the AHS offense had a drive stall inside Ortonville’s 10-yard line. Dragon defenders Tony Sauer and Chris Wieneke shared a sack on Trojan quarterback Alex DeWald for a safety moments later, giving the hosts a 2-0 lead at the 2:16 mark of the first quarter.The Dragons increased their lead to 10-0 with a three-play drive late in the second quarter.After Bullerman hit Cody Reverts with a 43-yard pass that pushed the ball deep in Ortonville territory, the AHS tailback scored on a four-yard run with 4:21 left to play in the first half. Bullerman connected with Brett Block for a successful conversion pass after the touchdown.Ortonville got back into the game with an 11-play, 86-yard drive that ended with DeWald tossing a 21-yard touchdown strike to Blayn Ronglien with 21 seconds left in the first half, making the score 10-6 at the intermission.The Dragons opened the second half with an impressive 10-play, 73-yard march. Bullerman threw a four-yard touchdown pass to cap the drive, and Anderson carried in the two-point conversion to make it an 18-6 game at the 7:57 mark of the third quarter.Adrian possessed the ball inside Ortonville territory moments later, but Trojan defender Cory Stattleman ended the threat by intercepting a pass and returning it 70 yards for a touchdown with 6:00 left in the third quarter.A successful extra point trimmed Adrian’s lead to five points at 18-13.Ortonville got the ball back with a successful on-side kick, and the Trojans moved the ball to the AHS five-yard line before the possession stalled on downs.Adrian then marched 95 yards in 11 plays with Bullerman leaping into the end zone from one-yard out at the 9:41 mark of the fourth quarter. Bullerman, who connected with Reverts for a 37-yard pass that kept the drive alive, carried in the conversion to give the hosts a 26-13 advantage.Ortonville lost its next possession on downs, setting up an eight-play, 45-yard drive that iced the win for AHS. Bullerman capped the march with a seven-yard run, making it a 32-13 game.The Trojans scored a late touchdown against Adrian’s second-string defense when DeWald threw a six-yard pass to Ronglien with 38 seconds left to play.Adrian hosts defending RRC champion Russell-Tyler-Ruthton Friday.
