With the 2024 season for Dawson County in the books, legendary coach Sid Maxwell has decided this would be his last. The Tigers head coach announced his retirement Wednesday morning.
Maxwell has been the Dawson County coach since taking over the program in 2015. In that span (10 years), he has registered a 69-45 record (.605) with Region Championships in 2015 and 2022. He is the all-time winningest coach in Dawson history.
His career spans 30 seasons as a head coach at Sequoyah (1994-2008), Lambert (2009-2013), and Dawson County (2015-2024). Maxwell also won a region title in 2003 with Sequoyah, the place where he won 97 games in 15 seasons. He won 31 times at Lambert across 5 campaigns.
Maxwell’s overall record stands at 197-128, finishing just shy of the 200-win milestone. He coached 19 state playoff teams and made Quarterfinals appearances in 2004 with Sequoyah and 2015 with Dawson County. His playoff record is 13-19, and he tallied 3 10- or 11-win seasons.
