Late scores lift Hays past Dripping Springs 22-21

DRIPPING SPRINGS – Twelve unanswered fourth quarter points catapulted the Hays Rebels (2-0) to a stunning 22-21 come-from-behind win over the Dripping Springs Tigers Friday at Tiger Stadium.

Key defensive stops down the stretch, primarily in the final nine minutes of the game, played a vital role in the Rebel comeback.

But early on, Dripping Springs (1-1) utilized its stifling defense to take a 7-3 halftime lead highlighted by a 37-yard interception return for a touchdown by Liam Dahl.
