The Dawson County varsity softball team entered the first round of the region 7-AAA tournament on Sept. 28 with a ton of enthusiasm and energy.

With a regular season record of 1 – 1 against the Spartans, each team having won at home, head coach Jimmy Pruett recognized the challenge ahead of the Lady Tigers but was mindful of the advantage gained by playing in the familiar confines of Jack Waldrip field.

Two pitches later, the Dawson County High School softball team had the lead again for the first time since the third inning, this time for good.
