Basketball
After so many big changes were announced by the UIL for a lot of schools across Texas when it came to districts, San Saba will not have to change a thing when it comes to basketball these next two seasons as both the Dillos and Lady Dillos will stay in Region IV District 29-2A and play the exact same opponents. San Saba will stay in a district with Goldthwaite, Johnson City, Junction, Center Point High School, Harper High School, and Mason High School.
