DRIPPING SPRINGS — Carl Waits, 83, came to Dripping Springs from his small hometown of Rogers in 1965, when he would begin his 60-year career with the school district until he decided that it was finally time to hang up his cap.
Waits, lovingly known as “coach,” has spent the majority of his life involved in Dripping Springs ISD. Starting out as a teacher and assistant football coach in 1965, he made his way up to head football coach from 1969-1980, but over the years, he wore the coach title for several sports: basketball, baseball, track and golf. Several teams made their way to district championships under his tenure as their coach, according to DSISD.
Boys golf: 1966, 1971, 1972, 1976 and 1979; Regionals in 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1976 and 1979
