Shawnee-Mission, which was rated the second grid team in the state, was next on the Lion slate. The loop rival fell before the hungry claws of the Leos 21-6 to over-spice the spirited Homecoming crowd. This tilt was supposed to be the toughest from the viewpoint of the NEKL standings as it gave the King of Beasts a first place berth. With Danny ,laimes and Terry Malott pacing the way, the Lions blasted the Leavenworth Pioneers 33-0 on the latter's cold, icy plains. As the result of the piled up score the game was a success but the clash was gloomy from the standpoint of Norman Burnett who was injured on a touchdown sprint. After the Lions handed Argentine a 37-0 shellacking, the jungle beasts came home to find Ottawa ready for a tussle. The Lions flattened the Cyclones 45-0 to cinch the NEKL crown. Wyandotte, the only eleven to beat Woolardis crew last year, was next on the grid slate. The Lions didn't let lightning strike the same spot twice by overhauling the Bulldogs, 26.0. In the last conflict of the season, the mighty mythical state champs whipped highly-rated Highland Park 31-141. The Scotties were the only team to score two touchdowns all season against the Woolardmen. The Lions were paced by two all-staters, Charlie McCue and Frank Black, who were also named on the 1952 schoolboy All-American squad. Bob Preston and Jack Poe copped second team state honors while Terry Malott and Bob Endacott received honorable mention to give the big cats the best array of grid talent in the state. Allan Woolard, who tutored this year's state football champs, was named 4'Coach of the Year by the Kansas City Star at the close of the season via his superb handling of his Lion charges.
