Dominance on the court led the Dripping Springs Tigers tennis team to a 18-1 district opening win over the Medina Valley Panthers Saturday at Dripping Springs High.

The Tigers swept through all six girls and boys singles matches in the contest. Two of the boys singles matches went to decisive third sets.

Tiger Cullen Hess outlasted Medina Valley’s Caytan Chang 6-2, 5-7, 10-7, while Dripping Springs’ Owen Tuoly outlasted Medina Valley’s Tyler Oberhauser in three sets.

Medina Valley’s lone match win came in the boys doubles competition.

With the victory, Dripping Springs improves to 5-2 overall, 1-0 in district play. Dripping Springs maintains its ranking as the No. 5 team in Texas, according to the Texas Tennis Coaches Association.

After a nondistrict match against Westlake on Sept. 14, the Tigers go on the road to square off against Seguin and Lockhart in Seguin on Saturday. Dripping Springs hosts Marble Falls Sept. 18 at the Dripping Springs High tennis center.
