Tiger baseball all-district selections

Tiger baseball all-district selections

For the Tigers baseball team, the season came and went all too soon — but the awards from that season continue to show up. The team had its usual ups and downs, but when it was all said and done, the Tigers would finish with an 18-13 season with a tie for second place. The Tigers playoff run was short-circuited quickly. That did not keep the quality of the players from being recognized in the district honors being passed around to those who deserved it. The coaches meet just after the district schedule has concluded and vote on the individuals honored. Even though players are selected for a position, the truth is many of the players are called upon to play several positions as the situation calls for. Below are the Dripping Springs players selected for their skills and academics. 06/09/2022 12:00 AM

Tony Salazar ascends to the summit

Every decade or so, a special athlete makes their mark in the sports world. In the 90s, Dripping Springs' Tony Salazar was that person for Tiger athletics. He would make his impact on Tiger football in his freshman year of 1996. 06/02/2022 12:00 AM

Softball All-District 26-5A Selections

The week after the regular season concludes, the coaches always get together to select all the special honors that comes with a sports season. This, of course, includes the all-district and allacademic teams. The alldistrict honors the athletic skills of the individual while the all-academic reinforces the fact a player can juggle the time required to be on the field and the classroom. 05/26/2022 12:00 AM

All Dripping Springs sports seasons concluded on May 13th as the Lady Tigers softball team was eliminated from the playoffs. On the same day, two track athletes competed at the state track and field meet in Austin. A week earlier, the lone Tiger golfer at the state tournament was playing his final 36 holes. This week was the last hurrah in UIL Class 5A for Dripping Springs before moving on to 6A next year. 05/19/2022 12:00 AM

Tigers stopped at the start

Tigers stopped at the start

The Tigers baseball team got a double-dose of what had plagued them throughout the season when they took on the Cedar Park Timberwolves in bi-district action. All season long they have been unable to get a starting pitcher to pitch well in the first couple of innings giving up big leads early. Good teams take advantage and turn them into losses. The major cause is freebie walks making the old adage “you can figure on having a run scored against you for every walk you give up”. Comebacks are also tough when a team does not execute at bats in key situations. Cedar Park had it all as they dealt the Tigers 6-1, 9-1 losses to eliminate them from the playoffs. 05/12/2022 12:00 AM

Lady Tigers move up the ladder with wins

Lady Tigers move up the ladder with wins

It has been a steady-asshe-goes trip for the Dripping Springs Lady Tigers as they move through the playoff bracket. The games have become the type of games one usually expects from fastpitch softball. Good pitching, good defense and adequate hitting. This was evident as they played Southwest Legacy in the area round. Of course, the main thing is to come out on top and advance. The Lady Tigers squeezed by in the first game 1-0 and then came back to take the 4-1 victory. 05/12/2022 12:00 AM

Perfect game tops series win

Perfect game tops series win

Last year at this time, the Lady Tigers were battling the elements and a good-hitting Glenn nine. Torrential-type rains caused the series to be played over five days with DS falling short in moving on. This year it would be a night and day comparison. With practically the same lineup returning, the Lady Tigers were ready to take on Georgetown East View. No repeat as Dripping Springs opened with an 8-2 victory and closed it out with a perfect 4-0 game. 05/05/2022 12:00 AM

After competing in the regional track meet at Heroes Stadium in San Antonio, Dripping Springs will be sending two individuals to the State meet held in Austin on May 13. Ava Williamson placed second in the high jump with a leap of 5'6, tying a 20- year old school record. Brant Melton remained undefeated in the 800 to punch his ticket. Only the top two places advance and DS had three others to barely miss out with thirds. 05/05/2022 12:00 AM

Tigers drop final game

Tigers drop final game

The final week of the regular season copied their whole season. Putting it all together and then struggling with phases of their game. Of course, much has to do with the opponent but the Tigers do have to own their problems. They entered the week not having to worry about making the playoffs but the seed does matter. Going into the final game with Kerrville they were the second seed. A loss and a Johnson win would drop them to third. There is usually a steeper hill to climb playing a second seed than a third. Things would go their way at Seguin with two big scoring innings invoking the tenrun rule after five with the 15-0 score. However, the Antlers made it personal with a 2-1 triumph. 05/05/2022 12:00 AM

The offense kept up the pressure in the 2nd quarter with goals by Kane, Williamson and Brendan Linan, driving to a 7-3 lead at the half. 05/05/2022 12:00 AM
