Covid-19 played havoc with a few teams competing in the District 13-5A tournament but the Dripping Springs entrants were on top of their game and placed in all weight divisions to dominate the district and win going away. In the girls division DS had only two able to perform but still placed fourth in district. It most certainly would have been higher had top wrestler, Catalina Miller, been able to participate. An injury kept her out.

The only way a team can have the ultimate success in a sport is when they win that final game. The Lady Tigers soccer team did just that as they held onto their #1 ranking by defeating the #2 team in the state, Frisco Wakeland, 2-1. It showed the state rankings did have some merit. With the win, the Lady Tigers filled in another box on the DS sports bucket list. They are the 5A State Champions after falling in the semis in their previous two state appearances. They joined the girls basketball, volleyball and swimming teams as state champions from Dripping Springs.

Thirteen members of the Dripping Springs High School track and field teams qualified for the Conference 5A Region IV meet after finishing in the top four of their respective events at the area meet on April 14 at East View High School in Georgetown.
