We have not talked about the Tiger golfers since the holiday break but they have continued to chip and putt, etc while battling the elements. The boys have played in four tourneys, three of which had the second rounds cancelled. The girls played in three one-round tourneys and the JV boys another two.
Boys honorees: First team: Senior Layne Herington. Did not get to play that much last year due to a senior laden team but took advantage of his senior year. He led the team in points (343), 3-FG (64) and FTA (.741).
After squeezing out a victory against district foe Hays Johnson, the Lady Tigers headed out to College Station to play in the NFCA Lead-Off Classic to quickly get more good opposition to prepare themselves for the rest of the season. They would split their six-game set and come back home to take on perennially strong New Braunfels Canyon in another district game.
Track got off to a successful start for Dripping Springs as they competed in the Comal ISD Relays. Both divisions battled Smithson Valley for the title with the boys taking the championship while the girls fell just a few points short. The Tigers were headed up by double gold medal winners Brant Melton and Gage Groce. Likewise, Karsten Bobb kept the Lady Tigers in the mix with two golds.
It is a good sign as to the depth a program has when the JV teams also do well in numbers and points scored. The Comal ISD Relays was a good start to this season. The JV girls overpowered the field and the boys were competitive as well.
