During the 1994 Season, The Lincoln Football Team recorded a 5-5 Record in the 1AA Conference. Led by Bobby Osburn at Quarterback, and Jason Stanfill at Halfback, The Wolves recorded a 14-7 victory over then undefeated and #2 state ranked Gentry Pioneers. The Game began with Gentry marching the length of the field on their first possession behind running backs Ian Sullivan, and Scott Congrove, leading to a touchdown. After the ensuing kickoff, Stanfill took the ball to the right on a sweep, reversed field and ran 80 yards for a touchdown. During the play, sophomore FB L.J. Ellenburg had a blind side block on a Pioneer defender which was directly in front of a Channel 5 ( KFSM ) Camera. The hit was part of the Channel 5 sports opening for years to come. After missing the 2 point try, Lincoln trailed the pioneers, who were held scoreless for the rest of the game, by 1 point until Lincoln Scored with seconds to play in the game. Lincoln then converted a 2 point conversion for a 14-7 score. After a Long Kick Return, Lincoln's defense stiffened behind LB's Corey Cruikshank, and Travis Biswell, as well as DE Brian Key, and a last second pass fell harmlessly to the ground as time expired ending the pioneers hopes for an undefeated season. Lincoln then went on to beat the Prairie Grove Tigers on the last game of the season to finish with a record of 5-5. Lincoln Assistant coach Jim Mallett, father of Arkansas Razorback quarterback Ryan Mallett, who was a ball boy for the team, told the players that if they finished with a record of .500 or better, they could shave his head. After the Prairie Grove Game, a set of hair clippers was brought to midfield and Mallett's head was shaved during the post game festivities in the rain and mud.^{[citation needed]}

In the 2000 Season, The Lincoln Football team again recorded a 5-5 Record in the 1AAA Conference. Led by Lance Price at Halfback and a dominating offensive line. Lance broke the school record with over 1400 yards in 10 games.

But one of the Best Football Teams Lincoln High has ever seen is the Wolfpack of 02-05. Led by Heart and Spirit and coached by Coach Guthrie and Coach Beaumont, two of the greatest football coaches Lincoln has ever seen, not because of their coaching ability but because of the leadership they displayed on and off the field with integrity, service, excellence, heart, and God. They taught Respect is Earned, Not Given. They introduced the praying on the football field that shocked a lot of fans, teams, and people but began to also be a tradition with other teams since, The Holding of hands as they marched onto the field and during each huddle between plays, The fight and team effort that was missing in Lincoln for years since, The Tie wearing on Gameday Friday instead of the old tradition of wearing the jersey, the Eating together as a team before a game and going to church and praying as one before marching out onto the field where ever that may be on a Fall Friday Night. The Wolfpack started the season with over thirty players which still isn't a whole lot for a 1AAA Conference team playing big rivals and big names that had at least fifty players standing on the sidelines, but as the season went on, The WolfPack fell to 13 players. They did not give up, They instead stood up and took on what most teams couldn't. Even though there record might not show or reflect as one of the best teams Lincoln High has ever seen with a record in 02 of 1-9 and doubling the wins in 03 to 2-8, They Earned Respect, Heart and Team work that was missing in Lincoln. Even though that was almost a decade ago, that Spirit lives on in the heart of new Wolfpack football players and they continue to earn the Respect of Teams today.^{[citation needed]}

The League was one of the most underground kept secret clubs that Lincoln High has ever seen. It helped out the small town of Lincoln and kept kids off the streets and off of drugs. Even though we can not inform you of who started The League or who all was involved and participated, The League can be found in year books and listed in what clubs the students were involved in. That is only how you will get this information. It is sad that The League has since died off, but we don't believe we have seen the last of THE LEAGUE.
