2022 Regional Champs
Division I State Semifinalists
Congratulations to our Gahanna Lincoln High School football team on their outstanding season, reaching the Division I State Semifinals and finishing with a record of 13-2! The results the team achieved on the field this year brought our entire community so much pride and joy. We have not seen this kind of success by a GLHS football team in 40 years. Congratulations on a fantastic year!
Thank you also to our community for always supporting our teams. You showed our student athletes that this community cares about our students and our schools.
A special shoutout to our marching band and cheerleaders for accompanying our football team throughout the entire journey this fall.
