DUBLIN — The Dublin coaching staff, players and several fans would like to chalk up the 2020 season to growing pains, and they have ample reason. 

Fielding a youthful team with the majority of its offensive talent occupied by juniors and sophomores, the Lions stumbled through an injury-marred 1-8 campaign and missed the playoffs after posting back-to-back 8-3 seasons.

Yes, it hurt. And you can count junior starting quarterback Chris Teten among those who enter this season eager to make amends for it.
