Thu, 11/18/2021 - 12:00am

For the third time in the last three years, the Tigers have failed to get past the bi-district round in football. The bi-district opponents have been from the tough Cedar Park district next to us, making it hard to get wins. In fact, this year, all four of the District 26- 5A representatives were eliminated in the first round. For the Tigers, this year was a rematch of last year when they narrowly won over Georgetown. One had to know the Eagles sore had been festering for a full year and an even larger dose of salt had been thrown in the wound by their bidistrict loss to the Tigers baseball team.

Lady Tigers cross country third in State

Thu, 11/11/2021 - 12:00am

The Lady Tigers cross country team have put in the work, some for four years, and it is always gratifying to see that work produce results. Dripping Springs’ last four seasons have ended at the state meet but this year the Tigers finished in third place which is the highest Dripping Springs has finished since 2003 when the Tigers also finished in third. This means the Lady Tigers get to add a UIL state trophy to their trophy case and each of the seven runners received a UIL medal for their efforts as well. In addition, Kate Ginther and Karsten Bobb received another medal for their top ten finishes among the 152 contestants. The Lady Tigers were never able to finish above Boerne Champion and didn’t in this meet either. However, the two-time champions had to give way to Lucas Lovejoy. First year head coach, Kourtney Morris, was very pleased with the Lady Tigers performance, saying the girls followed the plan to perfection to be in contention all the way.
