In the run up to the Area Duals wrestling tournament hosted by Dawson County High School on Jan. 11 the focus for the Tigers’ head coach Aaron Haynes was simply “getting everyone healthy.” Starting from the first match of the season, in which the team experienced two concussions, the Dawson County Tigers have been battling injury at nearly the same pace as they have been battling opposing schools.
