The Lady Tigers varsity soccer team entered Spring Break on a four-game winning streak capped off by a dramatic penalty kick win over rival Lumpkin County last Tuesday at Tigers Stadium to move Dawson County into second place in the Region 7-AAA standings. “I told the girls before the game, ‘I don’t have to explain this one to you,’” said Coach Chess Hamby about playing rival Lumpkin County. “’And you young girls, if you don’t know, you’re about to find out.’ “It’s cool to get a win against Lumpkin anytime, but the significance of it puts us in position to go into (the state tournament) as a No. 2 seed and host a playoff game. Not only was it a big rival game, but there was a lot riding on it besides just beating your rival.”
