Lady Tigers on a roll

Two more district wins set the Lady Tigers up with a tough three-game stretch that will go a long way toward deciding the standings. DS had two straight shutouts to put them solidly in second place with a 6-1 record. They were able to shutdown Lehman 10-0 and Seguin 5-0. Last Friday they faced Kerrville Tivy and then due to the number of district games, a Saturday game with Hays Johnson.

Each year all the Dripping Springs track members that qualify for events are entered at the Texas Relays.

Dripping Life

I met Betty N. Adams, Dean of Prairie View A&M University College of Nursing - Houston, right after she took the helm of Prairie View’s College of Nursing in Houston. Hard to believe, but that was the summer of 2000. Later this year, she’ll step back from steering that great ship through 22 years of daily challenges and extraordinary achievements. But something about this woman told me she’d reach the summit of the mountain of challenge with the grace and poise I came to admire — no covet — over the years 03/31/2022 12:00 AM
