Lady Tiger volleyball taking playoff opponents

After completing their regular schedule, the Dripping Springs High School Lady Tiger volleyball team is deep into defending its state title.

Prior to the playoffs, Coach Kane likes to schedule a top team in the state to prepare them for the tougher teams ahead. This year, it was Highland Park High School: a bruising battle before the Lady Tigers succumbed 2-3. In the playoffs, the Lady Tigers shutout Vista Ridge (bi-district) and Madison (area) High Schools. Last Tuesday night, Dripping Springs began working their way back through district opponents when they played Westlake High School.
