From the dust jacket flap: " 'When the Lions Roared' is the thrilling definitive story of the Cathedral Latin football team -- a team that still owns the second highest all-time winning percentage in Northeastern Ohio. Meet the coaches and players and witness the thrilling games that helped to shape Latin's great gridiron tradition. Relive the team's rise to national prominence just 10 short years after it's founding, as well as the Lions' incredible success in Cleveland's city championship game. The Cathedral Latin Lions won more state high school football championships than any other Cleveland area school in the first 100 years of high school football here, and in the process provided the high school football fans of northeastern Ohio with some of the greatest scholastic football games ever played. Many is the year when the Lions played before more fans than any other team in Ohio, except the Ohio State Buckeyes. The top six high school games in attendance in Ohio hosted over 330,00 fans -- and the Lions played in every one of them."
