The Dawson County Tigers state playoff run ended Friday in the Sweet Sixteen with a 58-13 loss on the road to the defending state champion Cedar Grove Saints. An injury-depleted defensive front made it a tough night for the Tigers, but Dawson County finished with another successful season. “When you get to compete with private and city schools, do all we can to close that gap,” said Head Coach Sid Maxwell. “We played probably the best two teams in the state and it was a reality check for the program and where we want to be.”
