How about those TIgers! Spring Woods is off to a 2-0 start to the 2020 season. What a way to begin the season for Keith Cripps' squad. The two wins match the total number of wins for the program over the previous two seasons. Heading into this fall, Spring Woods had posted a 2-27 mark. The last two-win season for the Tigers came in 2016. This is the first time Spring Woods has started a year 2-0 since doing that in 2012 - also the last time they won three games in a single season. Cripps was also recently chosen as the Houston Texans Houston Methodist Coach of the Week!

The golfers are hitting the links ... and isn't the weather perfect for that right now. Memorial played in the Lake Creek Fall Kickoff this past week and took second place overall at the event. Emorie Evans shot an 86 to place third overall. Good to see the golfers back on the course.

The Spartans just keep it rolling! A 19-0 victory over Cypress Creek pushed the group to 4-1 in district play this team tennis season. This team has the pieces to make a run for College Station this fall. Be on the lookout for the Spartans come playoff time.

Let's give a defensive player his due! Through two games, Reco Griffin ranks fifth among District 17-6A defensive players in tackles with 20. Twelve of those have been solo tackles. Watch for him as he climbs the stat sheet this season.
