Getting a head start on the district meet, the Dripping Springs cross country teams entered the Seguin Invitational. It is here that District 26-5A will hold their meet on October 14. It was a good meet for the final tuneup as all four teams fared very well. The varsity and JV girls won their divisions and the boys varsity and JV were copycats as well but for third place finishes. Three of the boys varsity runners were missing from this meet. In cross country, places are determined by adding the finishes of your top five finishers. The JV girls had a perfect score.

Lady Tigers top Canyon in five

Thu, 10/07/2021 - 12:00am

The Dripping Springs- Canyon matchup was certainly all that it was hyped to be. The tense battle for district supremacy went to the absolute limit as the Lady Tigers would climb into a tie for the title with a 3-2 win. They are both tied with 9-1 records and most likely the season will end that way. DS has also beaten them in a tourney. Since they will probably meet again in the playoffs, a district playoff game is unlikely. First things first. They must navigate through the likes of Kerrville Tivy 8-2, Alamo Heights 6-4 and Boerne Champion 4-6 to get there.
