Not the same old Lions

Leelanau was well represented at the NFC Championship game Sunday between the Detroit Lions and San Francisco 49ers as multiple peninsula people made the trip out to San Francisco. Even though the Lions lost 34-31 in heartbreaking fashion, the experience will always be unforgettable for Matt Soltysiak of Glen Lake, and Nic and Casey Cross of Suttons Bay.
