Lady Tigers move up the ladder with wins

Lady Tigers move up the ladder with wins

It has been a steady-asshe-goes trip for the Dripping Springs Lady Tigers as they move through the playoff bracket. The games have become the type of games one usually expects from fastpitch softball. Good pitching, good defense and adequate hitting. This was evident as they played Southwest Legacy in the area round. Of course, the main thing is to come out on top and advance. The Lady Tigers squeezed by in the first game 1-0 and then came back to take the 4-1 victory. 05/12/2022 12:00 AM

Tigers stopped at the start

Tigers stopped at the start

The Tigers baseball team got a double-dose of what had plagued them throughout the season when they took on the Cedar Park Timberwolves in bi-district action. All season long they have been unable to get a starting pitcher to pitch well in the first couple of innings giving up big leads early. Good teams take advantage and turn them into losses. The major cause is freebie walks making the old adage “you can figure on having a run scored against you for every walk you give up”. Comebacks are also tough when a team does not execute at bats in key situations. Cedar Park had it all as they dealt the Tigers 6-1, 9-1 losses to eliminate them from the playoffs. 05/12/2022 12:00 AM

The Tigers traveled to Kingwood for the weekend for the Texas High School Lacrosse League Super Regionals. They kicked things off against the hometown Mustangs on Saturday. Drip got things started early behind goals from Aiden Kane, Ryan Williamson and Jack Tanner before Kingwood was able to get on the board. A Williamson assist to Tanner wrapped up the 1st quarter with the Tigers leading 4-1. The offense kept up the pressure in the 2nd quarter with goals by Kane, Williamson and Brendan Linan, driving to a 7-3 lead at the half. 05/05/2022 12:00 AM

Tigers drop final game

Tigers drop final game

The final week of the regular season copied their whole season. Putting it all together and then struggling with phases of their game. Of course, much has to do with the opponent but the Tigers do have to own their problems. They entered the week not having to worry about making the playoffs but the seed does matter. Going into the final game with Kerrville they were the second seed. A loss and a Johnson win would drop them to third. There is usually a steeper hill to climb playing a second seed than a third. Things would go their way at Seguin with two big scoring innings invoking the tenrun rule after five with the 15-0 score. However, the Antlers made it personal with a 2-1 triumph. 05/05/2022 12:00 AM

Only the top two places advance and DS had three others to barely miss out with thirds. 05/05/2022 12:00 AM

Perfect game tops series win

Perfect game tops series win

Last year at this time, the Lady Tigers were battling the elements and a good-hitting Glenn nine. Torrential-type rains caused the series to be played over five days with DS falling short in moving on. This year it would be a night and day comparison. With practically the same lineup returning, the Lady Tigers were ready to take on Georgetown East View. No repeat as Dripping Springs opened with an 8-2 victory and closed it out with a perfect 4-0 game. 05/05/2022 12:00 AM
