The Tigers’ season ends at the hands of the defending state champions as North Hall swept Dawson County last week (7-6, 10-1, 18-8) to end their playoff hopes. “What you tell them is that you’ve got to look at it as a whole season, don’t just look at it as one night,” said Coach Dwayne Sapp following the April 18 10-1 loss, which officially eliminated the Tigers from postseason contention. “There’s a lot of things that could’ve went one way or the other, but what I told them is that I was proud of them.” After starting 1-5 in Region 7-AAA play, the Tigers (10-17, 7-11 Region 7-AAA) were in contention down to the next to last game of the season, and Sapp just couldn’t emphasize enough about how proud he was at his team’s ability to compete all season.
