Tiger Wrestling earns District 13-5A Championship
The depth and quality of the Dripping Springs wrestling team produced the Tigers a District 13-5A championship. Few, if any of the brackets were filled and most of the Tigers received at least a first round bye. They earned six golds, four silver and four bronze medals as all fourteen wrestlers qualified for the Regional Meet to be held at Delco Center on February 14-15. There were four girls competing and they compiled enough points to earn third place in the tourney and make their way to regionals as well.
