William Patterson dominates his opponents 

Patterson’s impact was evident throughout the game. He opened the scoring with a rushing touchdown, setting the tone for the Lions’ offense. His ability to find the end zone both on the ground and through the air kept the Panthers’ defense off balance. The Lions capitalized on his performance, scoring touchdowns in each quarter and maintaining control of the game. Patterson’s contributions were complemented by quarterback Javarian Smith, who threw for 117 yards and two touchdowns, and running back Adam Zouzelka, who added 78 rushing yards and a touchdown on the ground. 

Are the Prague Lions ready for their first season above .500?

This victory marks a significant step forward for the Prague Lions, who have struggled in previous ELF seasons with loosing records. With the addition of Patterson and other key players, the team is showing signs of a resurgence. Patterson’s leadership and playmaking ability provide a spark for the Lions as they aim to build momentum in the coming weeks. If they can maintain this level of performance, the Lions could position themselves as playoff contenders and change the narrative of their ELF journey.
