Dawson headed to Fayetteville State

KINSTON, North Carolina  --  For Josh Dawson going to Fayetteville to play basketball every year came to be expected.

It’ll now be his home for the next four.

Dawson, Kinston’s energetic point guard who guided the Vikings to back-to-back state titles, has signed to play at Fayetteville State.



The reigning two-time area player of the year said he chose the Broncos over several schools because they were the ones who seemed to want him most.

“They kept coming back and coming back, and since Day 1 they’ve been here,” Dawson said. “They were just showing that they really care about me a lot.”

When the 6-foot-1 guard graduates next month, he will leave Kinston as its most decorated athlete in terms of team state titles won. He’s the only Vikings athlete to ever win three state titles in a four-year span, and the 2011 team his sophomore year came one win shy of playing for a fourth championship.
