Basketball season is finally here, and the Dawson County Tigers began the 2019-20 campaign on Nov. 9 at the Adrian Penland/North Georgia Report High School Showcase with a game against the Mountain View Bears of region 6-AAAAAAA. In their first regular season game under head coach Eric Herrick the Tigers found themselves locked in a tight battle with the Bears as neither team was able to pull away at any point in the contest. A pair of free throws from junior Mason Barnes with five seconds remaining on the clock decided the game in Dawson County’s favor by a final score of 69-67.
