Lady Tigers get first district win

Lady Tigers get first district win

It was only a matter of time for the Lady Tigers to break into the win column in district play. They hosted Austin Akins with high hopes. Both teams struggled in the first half with scoring. Many shots were put up but few were finding net. The first four minutes went by before Gracie Embry would get a basket. Two late baskets by Rain Collins would give Dripping Springs a slim 7-6 lead after one. The second quarter was much the same. It was 13-12 at the half. 12/21/2023 12:00 AM

Lady Tigers off to a slow start in district

Lady Tigers off to a slow start in district

The Lady Tigers have struggled for wins all season long and the trend has continued in district. Even though there were several returning letterwinners with experience, only one, Rain Collins, chose to return. This meant that Coach Batson had to start out with an entirely new team to go against some good district teams. In watching the Bowie game, there were many encouraging signs coming from the team. First of all they played hard the entire game and showed no signs of discouragement. They aggressively went to the basket for shots and although they still missed the majority, unlike the last few years, the shots had a chance to go in. They hustled on defense, competed for rebounds and took care of the ball. They are certainly worth your time and effort to support them. They are doing all they can do to win and they will come away with victories during district play. 12/14/2023 12:00 AM

Tiger basketball splits first two district games

Tiger basketball splits first two district games

The Tigers basketball team have been playing some pretty stiff competition to prepare for the equally tough competition in district play. The top three teams in the district is expected to be Lake Travis, Westlake and Hays Johnson. Dripping Springs is expected to battle hard for that fourth spot in the playoffs which means they must win all the games they are supposed to and sneak up on some they should not. At the present the Tigers are 7-8 and 1-1 in district. They have defeated Bowie 44-36 and lost to Hays Johnson 61-52. 12/14/2023 12:00 AM

Basketball teams prime for district play

Basketball teams prime for district play

The two basketball programs have quietly gone about the business of playing pre-district opponents in preparation for the coming district play. For the first month of play the teams have been overshadowed by the success of the football team and the fact the basketball teams rarely play home games until district. With nine teams in the district, the schedule begins in early December and runs into February. As the district schedule begins there will be a home game (either girls or boys) every game night, mostly Tuesdays and Fridays. 12/07/2023 12:00 AM

Dripping Springs heads to quarterfinals

Dripping Springs heads to quarterfinals

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. 11/30/2023 12:00 AM

Tigers storm back for narrow 38-34 over Rockets

Tigers storm back for narrow 38-34 over Rockets

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. 11/23/2023 12:00 AM
