In addition to volleyball he is the senior class president and captain of the design and manufacturing team for Raider robotics. He also works at Sherwood Oaks all year. In the classroom he excels with a 5.19 weighted GPA and has taken 8 AP courses over his high school career. Quotes from Seneca Valley coach Brett Poirier: "Dawson is the complete package when it comes to volleyball. Not only is he co-captain but can play multiple positions. He can hit out of any positions in the front row or back row. At times he is my best blocker and can give me multiple points when he serves. He has worked very hard to become a six-rotaion player. It will be very hard to fill his position next year. I know whatever his future brings him he will be great at it. He will be missed but not forgotten." |
