The Lions have also assured themselves at least a share of the district championship.  The win versus the Brahmas improves the Lions overall record to 6 – 2 overall and 3 – 0 in district.  With four straight wins the Lions inch closer and closer to an outright district title for the first time since 1999.

They will have a chance for that outright title when the Zapata Hawks come to town on Friday, October 30th at Lion Stadium.  The Lions are excited to play at home, where they will have the support of the Lion faithful.
