The Lions left the 2017 Division II football national champions, defeating West Florida in a thrilling 37-27 champion- ship game. “That was a fantastic game played by two really good football teams,” Lions head coach Colby Carthel said. “I’m still not really sure we’re the two best teams in Division II, but we’re the two best teams that got it done during the playoffs. “We both had a long hard road through the playoffs to get to this stage. Tonight it was two good teams battling it out and we made a few more plays than they did to pull out the victory.” Carthel took over a program that had a history of losing seasons and turned the Lions into Lone Star Conference champions seemingly over night. West Florida head coach Pete Shinnick had his program sitting on the cusp of a national championship in just its second season. “I’m extremely proud of our guys,” Shinnick said. “Just how they continued to fight and continued to play throughout the course of this season. I think the type of team we have, when we got the ball there at the end, every one on the sideline is thinking we’re going to score and get the onside kick.
