Tigers struck out by Johnson

Tigers struck out by Johnson

The season sputtered in its start because of the weather but the opening district game with Hays Johnson was an epic battle that should have pleased all staunch baseball fans. The final was a seven-inning 1-0 loss that included 31 strikeouts. Each team had the same identical chance to score a run but only the Jaguars were able to get it done. 03/10/2022 12:00 AM

We have not talked about the Tiger golfers since the holiday break but they have continued to chip and putt, etc while battling the elements. The boys have played in four tourneys, three of which had the second rounds cancelled. The girls played in three one-round tourneys and the JV boys another two. 03/10/2022 12:00 AM

Inclement weather had its say

Inclement weather had its say

A full week of sports were rudely interrupted by a freezing spell that came in on Thursday and hung around for the weekend. Dripping Springs had three major events scheduled for the campus that had to be tweaked. Anytime you spend time scheduling outdoor events for February you are open to such treatment. Seldom does one get to compete in comfortable weather regardless. 03/03/2022 12:00 AM

JV Girls’ track wins meet

It is a good sign as to the depth a program has when the JV teams also do well in numbers and points scored. The Comal ISD Relays was a good start to this season. The JV girls overpowered the field and the boys were competitive as well. 03/03/2022 12:00 AM

Lacrosse splits games

Drip lacrosse started off their weekend at home with a win on Friday night against Episcopal Houston. The cold night started sloppy and the Tigers found themselves down 5-2 with 10 minutes remaining in the second quarter. That’s when the proverbial switch flipped. “We changed things up on defense. We stopped the back door cuts and giving them opportunities on the crease” said Goalkeeper Kaiden Grupp. Grupp ended the night with 7 saves in cage and took home the team hammer. After the change, the defense didn’t allow a goal in the final 34 minutes. 03/03/2022 12:00 AM

Lady Tigers Softball drops district game

After squeezing out a victory against district foe Hays Johnson, the Lady Tigers headed out to College Station to play in the NFCA Lead-Off Classic to quickly get more good opposition to prepare themselves for the rest of the season.

Softball season starts with district game

Softball season starts with district game

It is an unusual situation for any sport to begin with a district game but that is exactly what happened to the Dripping Springs softball team. The number of teams dictate this. The Lady Tigers return seven starters, including their top two pitchers from a district championship team. Even though they had five scrimmages under their belts, the start was not as smooth as one might expect. On this cold and windy night, DS struggled to a 5-3 win over Hays Johnson. No matter it is a district win and the sharpness will come. 02/24/2022 12:00 AM
