The Tigers are going to the playoffs. Despite a slow start to the season, the Dawson County High School Tigers varsity soccer team was able to clinch a spot in the state tournament with a 4-2 win over Fannin County on Friday at Tiger Stadium. “All season long, we’ve been trying to focus on pulling together and working together as a team,” said Coach Derek Waters about his team’s growth throughout the season. With Dawson County (5-6, 3-2 Region 7-AAA) struggling to find a rhythm early in the season, it was perhaps fitting that in the game that clinched them a spot in the playoffs, the Tigers struggled to find a rhythm early there as well, giving up a goal less than 10 minutes into the game to fall behind 1-0. But like their season, the Tigers rallied, scoring three straight goals to take a 3-1 lead into halftime.
