The Dawson County High School varsity boys’ tennis team faced a tough matchup last week when they hosted North Hall in their region opener March 8. The Trojans took the match 5-0, but the Tigers kept it close, leading to some optimism heading into the rest of the region schedule. “It makes me have high hopes for the rest of the season,” said Head Coach Ryan Coker. “We have Lumpkin (County) on Tuesday. It’s going to be tough. They pushed a great team today, so hopefully when they go up to Lumpkin, they know they can fight and they don’t give up.” The 5-0 score in the game is a little misleading, as several of the games were decided by just a couple of points and could have gone either way.
