Experience a strength for No. 9 Dawson

Dawson reached the Area Round of the playoffs a year ago as the Eagles posted a 26-10 overall record.
Four starters return for fourth-year coach Sharee Griffin (57-47), including Tarleton State University-commit Jaylynn Perez-Richard.
Other key returners include two-time first-team, all-district pick Kendall Ford and second-team, all-district picks Mia Barre and Jaycee Ingram. A final name to watch will be junior Journey Lovett.
