made the step up to the MCFL and the winning continues. The
Lions have been runner-ups to the Kane County Eagles for
the
coveted league championship in 1998 and in 2001. In 2002,
the Lions finally defeated the Kane County Eagles in a triple
overtime contest to become the league champions. With Rich
Dial, two time consecutive Coach of the Year, at the healm

for success.
This non-profit organization is dedicated
to the promotion of amateur football and has proven it by
consistently putting a great squad on the field. This is one
of the few squads in the country owned by a woman. You will
find team owner Margaret Burrows at all the games doing anything
necessary to make sure her team is ready to play.
