The Lady Tigers are headed to the state tournament for the fourth consecutive year after defeating Fannin County 3-2 in the quarterfinals of the Region 7-AAA tournament April 11 at Lumpkin County. “This group, and we’ve changed regions a couple times and met some different people, but (making the state tournament) is always their No. 1 goal,” Coach Stefanie Gibbs said. “So, they just set out with that end in mind and made it happen.” Although, Dawson County defeated the Rebels, 4-1, in the last match of the regular season, their tilt in the region tournament was much closer.
