The Tigers took to the road for the first time in the GHSA state tournament when they traveled to Savannah Mar. 2 for a Final Four battle vs. the Hart County Bulldogs. Dawson County opened the game on the defensive and was never able to recover as the Bulldogs established themselves with physical interior play and ran up an 11-0 lead in the opening minutes on their way to a 71-56 victory to end the Tigers' tournament run.
