New Berlin Eisenhower kicked off their season on the road on Thursday and hit a couple of potholes. They fell just short of the South Milwaukee Rockets by a score of 7-6. The Lions were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Rockets apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in April of 2024.
