2025 Georgia Preview: Dawson County Tigers
January 8, 2025
The 2025 high school baseball season is quickly approaching and as usual, excitement abounds throughout the state. Players and coaches have been working in preparation for the upcoming season and, as is the case each year, there are some very talented players and teams across Georgia.
Teams across the state have goals and aspirations to finish their seasons in the GHSA or GIAA state playoffs, but there is plenty of work to be done before that becomes reality. We hope to familiarize our readers with many of the teams across the state as we preview individual teams across Georgia. We will take you right up to first pitch this season with these team previews and by continuing our scheduled podcasts and releasing our preseason top-10 rankings in each GHSA classification and Power 25.
Please keep checking back throughout the season as we will be your one-stop shop for everything related to high school baseball across the state.
Each week we will be releasing our Players of the Week, updating the top-10 ranks in each GHSA classification, as well updating our Power 25 overall rankings. One thing, especially, you don’t want to miss are our scheduled podcasts with guests from across the state, as well as the recaps and previews of the big games we’re covering.

TEAM OUTLOOK
We first saw the 2024 Dawson County team at Georgia dugout to kick off the season. The put together 3 really strong games going undefeated in their region and beating a talented North Forsyth team. They lost some key pieces to graduation, but bring back a strong core that will compete for a spot in the playoffs once again. They gained a ton of momentum at the end of the year in 2024 and made a strong elite 8 playoff run. North Georgia commit Jacson Rickett will be their leader on offense along with Lagrange commit Elijah Odom. Both are experienced and will look to end their high school career on a strong note. Senior Davis Glass will once again be a key component in 2025. He is a power bat at the plate and will look to build off the year he had in 2024. Junior Jadyn Mattie will be a big piece in 2025 as he makes the transition to an upperclassmen. Coach Burt and crew will turn to a few sophomores in hopes of replacing their graduated talent. Carson Sosebee made an instant impact as a freshman last season with a couple home runs and one of the top batting averages on the team. He made a strong impression on the Prep Baseball scouting staff during the Georgia Dugout Club weekend. Case Gravitt and Ryder Sorace will be 2 more sophomores that will have a chance to make a difference in 2025. All in all Coach Burt will be set up with the opportunity to have another successful season. Their region will be tough, but he always does a good job of getting his teams to rally and compete.
