The Dripping Springs golf teams participated in the District 26-5A golf tournament held at the Vaaler's golf course near Blanco. In golf, it is a brutal battle to be able to advance to the regional tourney. Only two teams get to qualify for that honor. For the second year in a row, the DS Tigers found themselves just on the outside looking in as the third place finisher. In addition to the top two teams, the top two golfers not on those teams also advance to regional. Tanner Wardlaw was the No. 2 overall medalist and therefore is the lone Tiger to advance and certainly has a good chance to play well enough to make it to state. On a historical side note, Tanner's grandfather, Olen Wardlaw, played on the first Tiger golf team in 1966 along with Poe Shelton, Greg Phillips, Bill Crisp and Gary Garnett. Their effort netted the first district championship team in golf. The Lady Tigers struggled mightily at the district tourney.

Saturday night the Dripping Springs Boys Lacrosse team took on Washington Skyline. Pregame festivities included introduction of the seniors and their parents. 3 seniors will continue their lacrosse at the next level and many listed this year’s victory over Lake Travis as a favorite lacrosse memory. This senior group would lead the way for Drip on the night.

The Tigers baseball team is having a hard time getting a win streak together in a district that has many evenly matched teams. This race should go down to the wire. The Tigers edged Kerrville Tivy 1-0 but have not been able to figure out the Hays Johnson pitcher as he took his second victory over the Tigers 6-2.
