Dripping Springs High School begins its 6A era

Dripping Springs High School begins its 6A era

The growth of Dripping Springs ISD has steadily pushed the district to the 6A in competition. It is, of course, the largest classification in the state. There are many good 6A teams in the area and Dripping Springs will be battling in one of the best as it includes consistently two of the best, Lake Travis and Westlake. Once again Dripping Springs will begin as one of the smallest schools in 6A. The numbers game is always in play because the more numbers the more people to chose from and more good depth and better chances to find top talent. Except for the move from 6-man to 11-man in 1951, I have been witness to the change in classifications. When I first came to DSHS, the UIL had a little different way of doing classifications. In those days they would take the enrollments in the first year of the 2-year assignments. In 1968, the first time 11-man championship, DS learned they would be moving to Class A in 1970. That meant we were a Class A enrollment in 1968 and we had time to move into the middle of enrollment by 1970. 08/11/2022 12:00 AM

Uvalde Leader-News shows compassion, strength, need for community newspapers

The Texas Press Association held its annual conference this weekend in San Marcos. One of the presentations at the seminar was by Craig Garnett, publisher of the Uvalde Leader-News. He has been the publisher in Uvalde for decades. Recently facing the decision to retire, he was unable to do so, because of how much he cares about the community he covers. He couldn’t leave his town in a time of such need. 08/04/2022 12:00 AM
