A quick flick of the wrist from Dawson County High quarterback Coey Watson in the first quarter put it well on its way to a sizeable win against Fannin County on Friday in Blue Ridge. On the snap from the 10th-ranked Tigers’ 31, Watson spotted his slot receiver Austin Young around the 50, put a throw in his hands that didn’t cause him to break stride and watched as he pulled away for a 69-yard score. “Coey put the ball where it needed to be all night,” said Dawson County coach Sid Maxwell.
