The Red Dragons made it seven from seven at home this season with a comprehensive 55-3 victory over the Hawks in regular-season action on Saturday night. The scoreline told the story before the final whistle — the hosts dominated from the opening drive and never let up. To be fair, the Hawks had shown promise earlier in the week against the Bengals, but this was a different fixture entirely.
Red Dragons arrived having won their last three straight, including a 26-0 shutout of the Garnet Chargers and back-to-back 28-18 victories over the Wolverines. They brought that same energy to this matchup and threw everything at it from the first snap. The Hawks, meanwhile, were still reeling from a 47-13 loss to the Bengals and a 42-14 defeat to the Cougars. By then the pattern was already clear.
What stood out was not just the margin but the consistency. The Dragons controlled the line of scrimmage, converted on third downs when it mattered, and kept the Hawks off the field for long stretches. The defense was equally disciplined, forcing three-and-out situations and limiting any sustained drives. The final tally reflected a game where one side simply had more answers.
The Hawks managed a single field goal and nothing else offensively. Their quarterback was under pressure from the opening series and never found a rhythm. The running game disappeared quickly, and the passing attack could not get past the secondary. It was a performance that will require honest conversation in the locker room on Monday.
For the Red Dragons, this extends their unbeaten run and keeps them in prime position in the standings. They have now scored at least 25 points in four consecutive games and look like the team to beat in their division. The Hawks face a difficult stretch ahead, and this result adds another layer of pressure to their coaching staff.
