Just in time for Mental Health Month, nonprofit Samaritan Center has opened a new office in Dripping Springs, along with a new therapist to serve the area.

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.

Aqua Blue Pots in the landscape and staggered on the side of a hill, was not my idea, but my bride, the person who pops up on my phone as Jan My Love Winter. This is the color I have avoided like the plague for most of my life. To modify the French phrase this project was going to be my ‘Peace’ de Resistance. You see Jan is a gifted and natural plant groomer when it comes to our mixed containers, so making ‘Peace’ is the goal.

Dripping Springs is in a good position to finish strong and earn a place in the playoffs. They are holding onto third place with only two games remaining. They have been making the most of the hits they get. They got a measure of revenge defeating Alamo Heights 6-1, then took out Veterans Memorial 9-2 before outlasting Lehman 11-7. They finish district play Friday hosting Kerrville.

The high school lacrosse team wrapped up their regular season this past week and will move into the playoffs. Drip attackman Aiden Kane capped off his season against Westlake scoring 3 goals and adding an assist. His hat trick allowed him to set a new single season goal record for the Tigers at 54 goals. The previous record was held by current assistant coach, Gabe Reno at 53 goals in the 2018 season.

Both of the Dripping Springs soccer teams had stellar seasons as the Lady Tigers reached the regional finals (25-1) and the Tigers made it to the state finals (26-4). This also means they should reap most of the rewards when it comes to all-district honors and they did.

The Lady Tigers played it close to the vest as they clinched first place in district. The Lady Tigers scored four in the first to solidify their 7-0 victory over Lehman. They would also open with four in the game with Seguin. However, the Lady Matadors did not let them off the hook that easily. They would go ahead 6-5 in the third with a five-spot. The game was tied at 7-7 in the fourth and the Lady Tigers pushed across the winning run in the sixth. The final district game was with Kerrville. A 5-1 win that avenged an earlier loss. Three walks, three hits gave DS the three runs they needed in the third to support H. Anderson's complete game.
