Dragons Halfway Report
Dick Grayson, sports reporter, Des Moines Register

How 'bout dem Dragons? 3-1 since their bye and completely healthy, without a single injury listed on the roster.

The biggest reason for the turnaround has to be rookie QB Dakota Corriveau discovering a long-lost missing piece of the Dragon attack, TE Kelvin Satterfield. The talented, but too often forgotten tight end now leads the team with 427 receiving yards, more yards at the halfpoint of this season than in any previous whole season with the Dragons.

The defense has come alive as well, gathering up 10 picks to erase the Dragons' turnover deficit on the season.

The winning streak is also charging up the fans, who may be forgiving Corriveau for a rough start and really starting to back the youngster.

Corriveau and the young Dragons still have some growing up to do, but at least they've hatched from their eggs now, instead of laying them.
