Graduation had hit San Saba hard following the 2020 campaign, leaving coach Andreas Aguirre with few seniors and far less experience to work with. The ‘Dillos also had the additional hurdle of a brutal schedule — a direct bi-product of their three-year run of success which left few teams other than powerhouses willing to play them.
