In the 2018 season opener for both varsity and junior varsity teams, the Dawson County High School Lady Tigers softball team took to the diamond at Jack Waldrip Field on Monday for a game against the White County Warriors. With returning senior Maggie Schandera taking the mound for the Tigers, and a defense that features five players from last year’s roster, expectations were running high among the fans and coaches. “It feels good to have this many girls back,” said Head Coach Jimmy Pruett. “But this is the first game, and we have to consider nerves a part of that today.” If any member of the DCHS team was nervous as the Warriors came to bat in the top of the first, it didn’t show as the Tigers quickly gathered up their three outs and ran off the field for their turn at the lumber.
