Two-A-Days: Central Lyon/George-Little Rock Lions

ROCK RAPIDS, Iowa (KCAU) - Central Lyon/George-Little Rock is coming off a 2-6 record last season, but don't let that record fool you as the Lions come into 2026 with plenty of belief.

CL/'G-LR is coming off its first sub .500 season since 2017, but ended the year with two consecutive victories.

The Lions have been rebuilding with youth the last couple of seasons, with many taking big steps last year inclduing quarterback Jayden Daale and running back Michelet Sedam.

The team played in many close games last season and finished 1-4 in one-score games, putting an emphasis on the details.

"We've got to make those plays. It comes down to that one big play a game, and we just come up short. But not this year. We're going to make sure we get them big plays that go our way," Daale said.

"We've just got to finish games. Big games are decided by one or two plays. Obviously, we didn't make those plays in those losses. So we really we weren't that far off. But yet, record wise, we have a long ways to go. Our focus is on us doing the little things better to to win those games and to make plays in those big games," CL/G-LR head coach Curtis Eben added.
