2nd half rally leads Nettes to victory over Dawson

Dawsonville, Ga — The Pickens Dragonettes, have had an interesting week to say the least. On Tuesday, they traveled to Rossville to take on the Ridgeland Lady Panthers in 7-AAAA action. The Nettes, set a school record for three point makes in a game on route to a 92-23 win. On Friday, the Nettes were set to travel to Tunnel Hill to take on the Lady Bruins of Northwest Whitfield, but the game had to be postponed due to covid issues. On Saturday, the Nettes traveled to Dawsonville for an early afternoon tilt with a good Dawson Lady Tiger team in non-region action.

In the second quarter, the Lady Tigers started to pull away a bit using the three point shot and second chance opportunities. Going into the halftime break, Dawson led Pickens by 13.
