The Bismarck Lions look to defend last summer’s Southwest Arkansas 

7-on-7 League title won from a productive workout session in shootout competition on the gridiron. The Lions have prepared to start their league play this week, which they’ll travel to compete at various locations.

The Lions have already had some early summer taste of 7-on-7 tournament championship achievement—winning the Small Town Shootout hosted in Poyen to kickoff their summer training.

Bismarck Lions football head coach Daniel Keithley anticipates another competitive round of summer competition as the Lions return to workouts after the dead week period.
