The Dawson County girls’ varsity golf team secured a spot in the GHSA AAA state tournament with a sixth- place finish in the 3-AAA girl’s area tournament on April 23 at Chestatee Golf Club. A quartet of Lady Tigers, sophomores Maddie Anglin, Mariah Benson and Kenzie Smith, along with junior Cosette Huthwaite combined the team’s best three scores from the 18-hole course for an overall score of 316 to grab the last open slot for this year’s state tournament. Smith, who has posted the Lady Tigers lowest score in every match of the season, once again led the team with a round of 96 on the par 71 course. Huthwaite followed with a score of 104 while Benson posted a 115 to top-off the team’s total score.
