Soccer 26-5A All-District Selections

Soccer 26-5A All-District Selections

Both of the Dripping Springs soccer teams had stellar seasons as the Lady Tigers reached the regional finals (25-1) and the Tigers made it to the state finals (26-4). This also means they should reap most of the rewards when it comes to all-district honors and they did. 04/28/2022 12:00 AM

The Lady Tigers played it close to the vest as they clinched first place in district. The Lady Tigers scored four in the first to solidify their 7-0 victory over Lehman. They would also open with four in the game with Seguin. However, the Lady Matadors did not let them off the hook that easily. They would go ahead 6-5 in the third with a five-spot. The game was tied at 7-7 in the fourth and the Lady Tigers pushed across the winning run in the sixth. The final district game was with Kerrville. A 5-1 win that avenged an earlier loss. Three walks, three hits gave DS the three runs they needed in the third to support H. Anderson's complete game. 04/28/2022 12:00 AM

Baseball splits pair of games

The Tigers baseball team continues to have problems with getting out of the first inning without giving up runs. Some they come back from and some they don't. The past two games were some of that as DS split the two games with Canyon (2-9) and Boerne Champion (6-5) in eight. 04/21/2022 12:00 AM

Drip Lacrosse wrapped up their regular season against Austin High on Thursday night at Chalmer’s Field. With the Austin skyline in the background and fans sitting in truck beds around the field, the Tigers jumped out to 2-0 lead on goals from Brett Williamson and Brendan Linan. The Maroons found the back of the net late in the 1st period to close the gap to 2-1. The 2nd quarter belonged to Austin High as they had 7 more goals while limiting the Tigers to only 4 shots on goal. Williamson picked up his 2nd and 3rd goal of the game and the Tigers trailed 8-4 at the half. 04/21/2022 12:00 AM

Softball readies for play-off push

Last Saturday the Lady Tigers scheduled a couple of games with two good teams to better sharpen the team for the coming playoffs. This doubleheader was played at the Lady Tigers field. The two teams were Boerne and Georgetown, two teams heading for the playoffs as well. DS would lose both as Boerne came back to win 6-4 and Georgetown started fast to win 10-6. We will probably see the Lady Eagles in the playoffs. Boerne is Class 4A. A Monday district game with Veterans Memorial produced an 8-3 win. The game was played on Monday to free up athletes for the district track meet on Tuesday. 04/21/2022 12:00 AM

District 26-5A track meet results

Weather has presented uncomfortable playing conditions for most of the spring sports. For the District track meet held at New Braunfels Canyon, it was mostly windy days although other threatening weather did not materialize. As expected Boerne Champion could not be brought down while DS was doing their best to hang in there and give them a race. As has been the case for years, a weak showing in the field events just puts the Tigers too far behind to overcome the total points. BC won both varsity divisions and the JVG division while the Tigers trailed for second place and the Lady Tigers were fourth. Both Lady Tigers 1600 runners broke the previous school record and Brant Melton sparked the boys with gold efforts in the 800, 1600 and 3200 races and the 800 relay took the other gold with a near school record. 04/21/2022 12:00 AM

Tigers soccer team earns state

Tigers soccer team earns state

It has been a great year for the two Dripping Springs soccer teams and the end looked bright. However, in the end, the soccer teams ended up reversing last year's positions. Last year the Tigers were stopped 1-0 by Brownsville Porter and the Lady Tigers went on to win the state title. This year the Tigers (25- 3) were able to defeat Sharyland 2-0 and then got their revenge with a 2-0 blanking of Porter to send them to state for the first time since 2010. The big game for the Tigers was the Rouse quarterfinal game in which pen alty kicks advanced the Tigers after the 1-1 score. 04/14/2022 12:00 AM

District golf results

District golf results

The Dripping Springs golf teams participated in the District 26-5A golf tournament held at the Vaaler's golf course near Blanco. In golf, it is a brutal battle to be able to advance to the regional tourney. Only two teams get to qualify for that honor. For the second year in a row, the DS Tigers found themselves just on the outside looking in as the third place finisher. In addition to the top two teams, the top two golfers not on those teams also advance to regional. Tanner Wardlaw was the No. 2 overall medalist and therefore is the lone Tiger to advance and certainly has a good chance to play well enough to make it to state. On a historical side note, Tanner's grandfather, Olen Wardlaw, played on the first Tiger golf team in 1966 along with Poe Shelton, Greg Phillips, Bill Crisp and Gary Garnett. Their effort netted the first district championship team in golf. The Lady Tigers struggled mightily at the district tourney. 04/14/2022 12:00 AM
