Marlie Townley is the TeamFYNSports Player of the Week for the Lady Tigers!

Townley, a senior post player, had a pair of all-around strong games on offense last week, but she made her biggest mark on the defensive end as Dawson Co. won twice.

The Lady Tigers (8-5, 3-1 Region 7-3A) continue to be ranked in the top 10 and Townley is a big part of why they are there.

In an important region game Tuesday, Dec. 17, Dawson Co. visited Lumpkin Co. (8-5, 2-3) and came away with a 64-51 victory. Townley scored 18, pulled down nine rebounds, and added three assists on offense, but had a game-high four blocks on the defensive end.

Back at home against Oconee Co. on Friday, Dec. 20, the Lady Tigers defeated Oconee Co. (5-5, 1-0 Region 8-4A) 59-43. Townley scored 13 and added five rebounds and two assists on offense and put up another two blocks on defense.

For her efforts, Townley is the TeamFYNSports Player of the Week for the Lady Tigers!
