Depth is always a positive when a team gets into the playoffs. Dripping Springs showed the importance of this quality as they broke loose in the second half to push away from San Antonio John Jay and come away with a strong 50-27 victory. This accomplishment moved the Tigers to the quarterfinals round, the same as last year. This time the opponent will be Cibolo-Steele, another worthy adversary. The game will again be played in the Alamodome, Saturday December 2. Kickoff at 7:00pm.

The Dripping Springs Junior Varsity boys golf team has completed their Fall schedule. Here are the results of the five tournaments.

As the season progresses, there are always new lessons to be learned. One thing the Tigers learned in their game with the Judson Rockets was a losing record does not mean a loser of a team. Judson, 4-7, gave the Tigers all they could handle until a touchdown with 58 seconds remaining would bring Dripping Springs all the way back from a 17-point deficit in the second half to a 38-34 victory to advance to the regionals. It had been 60 years since last the Tigers played the Rockets and did not have a win in the two games. That means Dripping Springs will be paired with San Antonio John Jay (10-2) and the Tigers (10-2) will be practicing on Thanksgiving, a plateau every team strives to achieve. The game will be played at the Alamodome in San Antonio on Saturday with kickoff time being 11 a.m.
