Dawson Bucs Sign 6’7 Hi-Line Standout
Malta’s Connor Tuss will be joining the three-time defending Region Champion Dawson Community College Buccaneers next year. The 6’7 forward averaged 14 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal per game this past season in helping Malta to a 14-9 record. Tuss shot 59% from the field and 60% from the free throw line. The Mustangs made an appearance at state this past year after winning the Northern B Divisional. He was selected 1st team All-Conference and All-State. As a junior, Tuss was 2nd team All-Conference and helped Malta win their district championship.
Dawson Coach Joe Peterson said, “Connor has a lot of potential. He has good length and size, a good shooting touch and a good motor. I think coming to Junior College was a really wise choice. He will really grow as a player because he’s going to put in the work every day.”
Tuss shared, “I’m beyond grateful for the chance to continue my career. I’m ready to get to work as a Buc and develop at a different level.”
