Dawson County coach Sid Maxwell has many blessings to count — his defense being one of them — after Friday night’s 38-24 win over East Hall. A colossal effort by the Tigers’ defense, including three goal line stands in the first half and two second-half interceptions, proved to be the driving force for Dawson County over a tireless Vikings unit at East Hall Stadium. “Anytime you keep momentum on your side, it’s just always a blessing,” Maxwell said.
