Dawson County’s first home playoff game since 2014 was a success as the Tigers rode the home crowd energy to a 66-53 win over Monroe Area in the first round of the Class AAA state playoffs on Saturday.
The Tigers (19-9) started fast, feeding off the home crowd fans, to take a 20-9 led at the end of the first quarter.
“In a game like today, it’s important to get off to a good start so the other team doesn’t have a lot of momentum,” said Dawson County coach Chad Pittman. “Our first quarter was key. It kind of set the tone today. It gave us some confidence early.”
