Strong team defense wasn’t enough for the Dripping Springs Tigers (11-13) as they fell 48-33 to the Alamo Heights Mules in Friday’s district opener at Tiger Gym.
“We went into this game with really only about eight healthy players, and we knew this was going to be a tough battle,” Dripping Springs head coach Craig Swannack said. “In my opinion Alamo Heights is the best team in our district, very strong, very hard to defend. They just run great stuff, they’re a really good team. We knew we were going to be in for a dog fight.”
The Tigers opened the game in a zone defense to prevent the Alamo Heights offense from playing around the rim, while also forcing them to shoot from beyond the arc.
