Basketball stock image
In two very different games on Jan. 25 both Dawson County basketball teams came away with wins in their visit with regional rival Lumpkin County High School. The Lady Tigers needed a fourth quarter push to grab the 56-53 victory, while the Tigers ran away with the second game by a final margin of 78-39. Lady Tigers come from behind to beat Indians Led by senior Kaylee Sticker, the Lady Tigers opened the first half with a fast-paced offense that pushed Lumpkin County to the edge but never quite pushed them over. The Lady Tigers took a slim 5-point lead into the locker room. The lead changed hands in the third quarter as the Lady Indians managed to shut down Dawson County offense and took a 5-point lead into the fourth quarter.
