Lions shook hands with the Indians, then met in a huddle in the center of the field, where Coach was the hub. (It was very moving.)

Winners are not determined by scoreboard scores, and just stats by themselves dont tell the story because Cannon County Lions won.

This is a team that came from nothing last year and scrapped their way to the top, defying all odds.

Underestimated. Undetermined.

The best things in life are the most unexpected.

Lions were not expected to have a winning season. We never expected a new coach to become endeared to players and the community.

The scoreboard never tells the whole story, just the end.

However, this is not the end.

This is a story that will go down in Cannon County history, the year that Lions Football defeated all odds, came out on top in the 2009 Mud Bowl, with a winning season.

History buffs will tell how a team pulled together a whole town.
