From their inception in 2002 to their final overtime loss of 2009, the Lionz franchise was one that could be relied on to bring the battle to their opponents.  Four times as division champions, their nemesis seemed to always be the either the Idaho Falls Mustangs or the South Ogden Rhino-Raiders and for 7 straight seasons it was one of those teams that ended the season for Madison.    

 

In 2007 the team changed from "Madison" to "Eastern Idaho" and led by QB Troy Daugherty, the team finally broke through in the AA ranks winning the 2008 Championship in overtime over the Idaho Matadors.

 

The 2009 season finale was another overtime affair only this time the Lionz were on the losing end and closed the books on the franchise.
