Things were going smoothly for the Dripping Springs High School volleyball team when a pothole jumped up and ruined their day.
It was not unexpected that the Lady Cavaliers of Lake Travis would be an equal foe. It was a terrific battle as each game played was up for grabs. The DSHS Lady Tigers won the first game but just could not get back to 25 in the next three.
In the previous district match, DSHS easily took care of Austin High 3-0.
The next half of district play will be interesting. The top three will have to turn around and face each other again before a district champion can be named. The Lady Tigers will face Westlake at home before going to Lake Travis for another barnburner.
