Jack Tyndall

The Wimberley High School Texans and Dripping Springs High School Tigers success stories last year ended before the final chapter for both football teams could be finished; each are eager to pick up where they left off, but the rewrite won’t be easy.

The district awards for the Dripping Springs softball and baseball teams have been announced.

SAN ANTONIO — The Dripping Springs Tigers varsity football team advanced to the UIL 6A D2 Region 4 Finals, which took place at the Alamodome in San Antonio on Saturday, Dec. 2, against the Steele High School Knights. While the Tigers made a tremendous fight, they fell short 21-28.

By Albert Sanchez CONVERSE — On Saturday, Nov. 18, the Dripping Springs Tigers traveled to Judson High School in Converse for the area round of the UIL 6A D2 playoffs.

DRIPPING SPRINGS — The Dripping Springs Tigers football team secured a 52-17 win over the Anderson High School Trojans at its latest home game on Friday night.

On Friday, Oct. 27, the Tigers traveled to take on the Del Valle High School Cardinals at Veterans Memorial Stadium. After a scoreless first quarter, and a sideline pep talk, the Tigers came alive in the second quarter.

The Jack Tyndall show started after Dripping Springs’ defense forced Lake Travis (6-2 overall; 4-2 district) to punt on their opening drive. The Tigers’ junior put on a “what it takes to be a running back in Class 6A” clinic last Friday night at Tiger Stadium. Tyndall carried the ball 38 times for 216 yards, including a 57-yard touchdown in the second quarter.

By Wayland D. Clark DRIPPING SPRINGS — “It hurts, and it should hurt,” Dripping Springs head coach Galen Zimmerman told the team, “You’ve worked hard and invested a lot, but don’t let this diminish what you guys accomplished this season.” Those were the words Zimmerman said to his team after a bitter 27-24 season ending loss last year to Vandegrift High School Vipers in a 6A Division II Quarterfinal. The Tigers had a fourth down and less than a yard to score a go-ahead touchdown with 1:55 in the game and fumbled.

By Wayland D. Clark DRIPPING SPRINGS — Dripping Springs’ head softball coach Wade Womack and Johnson’s head coach Katy Snell shared Coach of the Year honors. Seniors Taylor Anderson, shortstop, earned Most Valuable Player and Jordan Cox was named Pitcher of the Year.
