Outlook: One of the things that can serve an ugly blow to a football program is a continual decline of school enrollment. That is happening to the Etna Lions. However, Coach Ken Dysert is making the best of a difficult situation. Key players to lead the team include Trevor Kendrick OG/LB, Travis Whittaker RB and Taylor Pehle-Munson LB. The team has a lot of speed but the Lions are young and inexperienced. Fans will be looking for replacements of an outstanding 2007 quarterback, wide receiver and running back trio.
