Dawson County High School senior Sara Alford made history April 18 when she became the first athlete in the history of the school to earn an acrobatic and tumbling scholarship. “Right now in NCAA, 37 colleges and universities compete in this and it’s one of the fastest growing sports in NCAA,” said Athletic Director Grady Turner. “This is a rising sport which you’re going to hear more and more about in the future so we’re very, very pleased and honored that Sara is going to be going on to do it.” Alford will be attending Limestone College in Gaffney, South Carolina in the fall where she plans to pursue a degree in athletic training.
