In only their third year, the Dawson County High School Lady Tigers (No. 3 7-AAA) volleyball team faced off against the Calhoun Yellow Jackets (No.1 5-AAA) in a Georgia High School Association State (GHSA) Tournament Sweet Sixteen matchup on Tuesday, Oct. 23 in Calhoun. Playing in a best of five format, the Lady Tigers quickly found themselves on the wrong side of home court advantage and experience as their tournament and their season were ended in a three-set sweep by the Yellow Jackets. From the first serve of the first set the Lady Tigers appeared to be battling themselves more than their opponents as they struggled to communicate and failed to put together a meaningful offensive effort early in the match. The Yellow Jackets were quick to take advantage of the situation and rapidly opened a double-digit lead that fired up their home crowd and further rattled the Tigers.
