It was not immediately apparent that the Westminster Wildcats were favored over the Dawson County Tigers on Nov. 15 when the two teams met in the first round of the GHSA State playoffs in Alfred E. Thompson stadium in Atlanta. The Tigers’ fans outnumbered the home crowd nearly two to one. The energy and emotion displayed by the Dawson players far outweighed that of their higher ranked opponents and the inspiring sounds of the DCHS band (the only band present) all combined to give the game the feeling of home.
