Davis Glass did a solid job in his first year under center, helping guide Dawson County to a Region Championship and playoff appearance. Now he’ll be a junior, and he should improve on his passing numbers (1,050 yds, 11 TD; 218 rush yds, 3 TD). The Tigers will miss Kade Moledor, Cade Adams, Will Kurtz, Kevin Haymond, and Elijah Smith among others. Those guys were fantastic. Dom Leblanc is back for his senior season, and put up respectable numbers at WR (618 yds, 6 TD). The thing about the Tigers is they seem to always roll out the next group and new playmakers emerge, and that’s credit to the coaching staff and what Sid Maxwell does very well. That should once again be the case.
