A Manor Mustangs touchdown scored with less than a minute left in the game Friday doomed the Dripping Springs Tigers in a heartbreaking 43-40 bi-district round playoff loss at Tiger Stadium.
Dripping Springs (8-3) was forced keep pace with an explosive Manor offense right out of the gates. A 20-yard touchdown from Mustang running back Tahj Brooks gave Manor a 6-0 lead after a missed extra point. Tigers senior quarterback Tanner Prewit followed by orchestrating back-to-back touchdown drives, giving Dripping Springs a 14-6 lead after one quarter.
However, Brooks took over in the second quarter, helping Manor build a 20-14 lead.
