Dawson Springs lost all five starters from a five-win team a year ago. Gonna be a long season for the Panthers.

WOW! 8 points. So sad.

Is this for real? EIGHT POINTS?

Reminds me of MMI when they were in our district.

Oh my!

 

Typo?

I had to check the local paper to make sure it was correct. The Maroons had 16 different kids score and the leading scorer had just 12. I have seen Dawson play. The have one senior and one junior. The rest of the team is freshmen. That freshmen class will be a decent group if they don't get so discouraged by what is going to be a very difficult season.

I agree. Hopefully they won't get discouraged from this. I couldn't tell you the last time I saw a boys team score less than double digits in a game.

 

How big of a school is Dawson Springs anyway? If they graduated five seniors from a five win team last year, then they can't be too big.

Three graduated. Two starters opted not to play

Kudos to the kids who are sticking it out. It can't be easy for them. I sincerely hope they get a few wins along the way.

Last year they had 195 in the HS

That's almost 49 in the top 4 grades. Looking at the scoreboard, it looks like they do not have much success on the court. They haven't won more than ten games since 2005-06. Are they more successful in other sports or at the middle school level?

I think one of those kids is now at Caldwell, but is no longer playing basketball.

 

Just not a lot of athletes in Dawson right now.

 

Pretty much a no-win situation for Madisonville. Those lopsided scores never look good for anybody, but what can you do? It's a district game, and the 7th District is seeding now.

I would say over the last ten years; softball has been their best sport. Twice they have won the all A regional tournament. They won the 7th district tournament also in that period. Softball dropped off this past year, but still have some young talent but they are in a very tough region.

Just because they seed does not mean they have to play everyone. Dawson could just agree to be the lowest seed come post season time. This is what Heritage Academy does in the 33rd district every year.
