A Lion’s Sweep of Individual and Team Titles

By Renée Haip

Each year, the schools of Saint Vrain Valley School District gather at Longmont’s Sunset Golf Course to compete against each other on a slow and grueling 5K course of grass covered hills. By far the smallest of the district’s eight public schools, Lyons revels in this David and Goliath style competition. Last year, the girls placed third and the boys placed second, a mere point behind Skyline. On Tuesday, September 17, the Lions arrived ready for a rematch.

Lyons Stumbles At Yuma

By Gary Gorman
The Lyons Lions high school football team made the long drive out to Yuma on Friday night to take on their longtime rival, the Yuma Indians, in a non-league game. Unfortunately, the bus ride home would be even longer. This game saw two different teams than in years past; here were two teams with much smaller squads, and a lot of younger players that had to step in and fill roles that before where held by juniors and seniors.
