Welcome to Dawson County News Athlete of the Year 2023

Over the past school year, many student-athletes made an impact within Dawson County athletics.

Such contributions could be felt by the many accomplishments made by several Tigers teams.

From the football team securing a region championship on a crisp fall night on the road, to the Lady Tigers basketball team winning a state playoff game in front of the home crowd, to several other notable events, Tiger Nation had plenty of memorable moments in the 2022-23 season.

But regardless of each team’s final record, all who were nominated for this year’s edition of Athlete of the Year displayed both their own unique talents and made indelible impressions on their respective teams both on and off the field.

In some cases, these nominees include seniors who led by example and set high standards for their teammates to follow.

In other cases, there are juniors nominated for their breakout seasons and undeniable influence.

And lying beneath the accolades and statistics is something every one of these athletes showed throughout the past season — character.

With that in mind, let us celebrate these individuals and all they have given to the Dawson County.
