The Orange football team starts the final quarter of its season on Friday night against Vance County in Henderson. Orange is 2-5, 1-2 in the Big 8 Conference. For center Brody Andrews, its the start of a critical stretch because he wants to make the state playoffs for the first time in his career. Andrews has played varsity football since his sophomore season at Cedar Ridge, then transferred to Orange in 2018 after the Red Wolves didn’t field a varsity squad. Dari’us Matkins rarely takes a play off for Orange. He starts as a guard on offense and a tackle on defense. He has become one of Orange’s most reliable interior linemen. You can hear Orange vs. Vance County starting at 6:45 with C&R Ski & Outdoor pregame show on Friday night. Kickoff between the Vipers and the Panthers will be at 7.
