The Dawson County Tigers have played six road games since Christmas and began a grueling regional schedule with a game against Cherokee Bluff High School on Jan. 4 in Flowery Branch. In their first year in region 7AAA, the Cherokee Bluff Bears looked to make their mark early against the Tigers as they opened the game with a fast-paced offense determined to put points on the board.
