One of the expected tough district opponents for the Dripping Springs High School Lady Tigers is the Westlake Lady Chaparrals.
The Chaparrals have been a perennial playoff team for many years. To make matters worse for the Lady Tigers, the game was away, forcing them to face a boisterous home crowd. But no big deal for Dripping Springs; they quieted the crowd with a 3-0 victory to remain atop the heap in 26-6A.
Left to be played in the first round will be Lake Travis.
In a non-district matchup, DSHS shutout New Braunfels 3-0. This leaves the 16th-ranked Lady Tigers with a 5-0 district record and 28-9 season.
