After spending many years practicing in old district gyms, the Dripping Springs wrestling program now has some fantastic new digs to ply their trade. They may be experiencing new surroundings but the winning tradition they have carved out over the years is still the same. While Covid-19 has changed some of the things they get to do, winning goes on. Whereas in the past they were able to compete in tournaments as most of their competitions, today they are limited to dual matches. At the present they have a 13-2 dual record. They will return to tournament format starting with the district tourney.

The Dripping Springs High School Hi-Steppers and Dazzlers concluded their 2021 competition schedule earlier this month at the Texas State Dance/Drill Team Championship in San Antonio.

U.S. Lacrosse Magazine dubbed Dripping Springs as “a football town just outside of Austin that has turned itself into a powerhouse lacrosse program.” Like the city itself, a once hidden gem, the college lacrosse world discovered Dripping Springs High School. Over the past four years the team has sent 12 players to NCAA programs. That does not include the athletes playing for college club teams like Arkansas, Oregon, Texas, Texas State and A&M. If you are wondering how this is happening, look no further than Head Coach Bill Cafferata.
