Good depth is always helpful when competing in a large tourney. Dripping Springs took the most swimmers (29) out of the 20-plus schools competing in the Region V-5A held at College Station and parlayed it into two regional titles, just like at district. DS qualified three individual events and one relay in the girls division and two individuals and one relay in the boys division.

The streaking Tigers basketball team was halted, not by another team, but by mother nature. The Tigers final game with NB Canyon was delayed by a cold spell that has not been duplicated in decades. The icy conditions caused the game to be postponed. It was supposed to be made up the next day but that too was called off. The length of the predicted spell may very well cause the game to be cancelled since it does not affect the district standings. At this time the Tigers have 15-6, 12-3 records. DS has cinched second place and should be playing the third place 25-5A team, Leander. In the meantime, the Tigers did get in a game with Hays Johnson and raced to a 58-38 win.

Dripping Springs opens the 2021 lacrosse season on February 20, hosting the Round Rock Dragons. Their 12-game regular season will end in April with playoffs beginning in May.
