East Hall at Dawson County When: 7:30 tonight Where: Tiger Stadium, Dawsonville Coaches: East Hall, Bryan Gray; Dawson County, Jeff Lee Records: East Hall (0-0, 0-0 Region 7-AAA); Dawson County (0-0, 0-0 7-AAA) Key players: East Hall, OL/DL Devonte Benton (6-5, 263 Sr.), RB/LB Xavier Hughey (6-2, 198 Sr.), OT Braden Jarrard (6-5, 247 Sr.). Dawson County, QB Tyler Dominy (6-4, 178 Sr.), RB/LB Zack Martin (5-11, 225 Sr.), WR/DB Bruce Clark (6-4, 210 Sr.). Outlook: This Region 7-AAA opener, originally scheduled for later in the year but moved up at the request of the coaches, will be an important barometer for both teams. Dawson County comes in with high expectations after returning 17 starters off of last season’s 5-5 team, while East Hall returns much of the defense but has to replace last season’s two leading rushers. That doesn’t mean the Tigers are expecting a repeat of last season’s 49-7 win in Dawsonville.
