It’s time for Friday Night Lights in Dripping Springs! The community comes together so much over Drip football and I have 3 young football players who can’t wait to play on the big field in a few years.
Dripping Springs High School’s football program has become a symbol of excellence and determination in Texas where Friday Night Lights is not just an addictive TV show (Although I’ve heard that DS local, Kyle Chandler, has helped on the sidelines before!), but a serious way of life.
Led by Athletic Director and Head Coach Galen Zimmerman, the coaching staff includes dedicated professionals like Eric De Los Santos (Defensive Coordinator), Al Peña (Offensive Coordinator), and others who specialize in various positions.
The team’s 2022 performance was exciting to watch! In their first year in Class 6A, the Dripping Springs Tigers finished second in District 6A-26 and advanced to the 6A-D2 Region IV championship game, ending the season with an impressive 12-2 record. The transition from 5A to 6A has been smooth and highly anticipated, and the expectation now is that Dripping Springs will compete for a 6A playoff spot every year!
The Dripping Springs High School football program’s success is not just about winning games; it’s about building character, setting high standards, and creating a legacy that inspires future generations of players. I know that my three sons can’t wait to get to high school and play for DSHS Tigers!
We love attending the home games and cheering on the team!
