Opening the 2018 campaign with seven games over 10 days, the Dawson County Lady Tigers volleyball team is rapidly coming together as a force to be reckoned with on the courts. This year’s team sees only four girls returning from last year, and that inexperience showed during the Mountain Madness Tournament on Aug. 10 as a lack of communication and cohesion led to 77 team errors in two matches. Giving up 40 errors in their straight set loss to Fannin County (25 – 19, 29 – 27) followed by 37 errors in another straight set loss to Gilmer County (25 – 17, 26 – 24), was not the beginning anticipated by Head Coach Tanya Porter.
