A 28-point effort from junior Aidan Bailey made the difference for the Dripping Springs Tigers boys basketball team Saturday as it cruised past the Lockhart Lions 59-43 at Tiger Gym.
Bailey’s output, which was a season and career-high point total, was part of a successful perimeter shooting afternoon for the Tigers that lingered from buzzer-to-buzzer. By paying “their dues” during the offseason, Tiger head coach Craig Swannack credited his players’ accuracy to the time they put into practicing their shooting. He also lauded his team’s ability to adjust to a game pushed back roughly 15 hours due to weather.
“Every single one of those kids who is a great shooter spends a ton of their free time putting up shots,” Swannack said. “Because of that, that’s why they have the green light, those guys have my full confidence to go out and shoot because you can see it’s a big part of our game.”
