It was a big weekend for Dawson County basketball as every level of the program, aside from the varsity teams, put the finishing touches on the 2018-2019 calendar. The action started on Jan. 24 when the Dawson County Tigers ninth graders, playing in their inaugural season, hosted the ninth graders from Johnson County for the final game of the year for both teams. After a close first period, the Tigers pulled ahead heading into halftime and extended their lead over the second half to close out the season with a 57-26 victory. The win gave the Tigers a final record of 7-2 and set the standard for future teams, according to first-year Head Coach Will Anglin.
