September 28, 2022
DAWSON — For the first time in Dawson football history, the Eagles began the 2022 season 0-3, but head coach Mike Allison schedule a very challenging non-district schedule because he wanted his players to be tested befor the real season begins.
A non-district schedule has no influence in the playoff picture because a team makes the post-season based on how they finish in district. So the real season began last week for the Eagles and they started it off with a 64-0 thrashing of the Alief Hastings Bears for a 1-0 league mark.
