It was another successful year of Texan Athletics at Wimberley. All Texan team sports qualified for the playoffs and several individual athletes showcased their skills at the state level.
To have so many athletes and teams qualify for the postseason at Wimberley is a testament to the hard work both Texan athletes and coaches put in this year.
Starting the yearly recap is the team that made its grand return to the mountain after a 17-year drought. Texan Volleyball captured its first state championship since 2007, winning the 4A Division II State Championship by beating the Canyon Randall Raiders 3-2 despite being down 0-2.
Wimberley’s state championship run concluded with a 42-3 overall record, making them one of the few teams in program history to win over 40 games in a season. During the playoffs, the Texans dropped only two sets, both in the state championship game.
Volleyball wasn’t the only team to see a berth at the state tournament. Texan Team Tennis made another return to the state tournament for the third time in four years, looking to defend their state championship crown. Wimberley also captured the district championship along with its second straight regional title.
Though the Texans fell to Canyon Randall in the state semifinals, don’t expect Wimberley to fall off.
Texan football continued its dominating run, winning its fourth straight district title along with an 8-2 regular- season record. In the playoffs, Wimberley made another deep run, capturing its third straight regional title. The 2025 senior class became the first to win three straight regional titles and make three consecutive appearances in the state semifinals. The Texans saw their season come to an end against Waco La Vega in the state semifinals.
The final team to reach the State Meet was the Wimberley Boys Golf Team. The Texans placed second at the State Meet with the team of Jaxon Donaldson, Kellar Cudney, Hollis Eckols, Cody Stoever and Nolan Waida. Donaldson captured the individual state championship, shooting 68 on both days of competition.
At the beginning of the year, both the Texans and Lady Texans basketball teams found success in the playoffs.
For the Lady Texan basketball team, the program returned to the playoffs after competing in the always- tough District 27, home to powerhouses like Fredericksburg and Boerne. Wimberley finished in fourth place to nab the final playoff spot where the Texans faced old-time rival La Vernia in the Bi-District round. Facing a district champion, the Lady Texans pulled off the upset to win their first playoff game in eight years, beating La Vernia 46-43. Wimberley fell in the area round to Navasota 50-46 but the postseason foundation has been laid for the 2024-2025 season.
The Texans finished in third place in the always- tough District 27.
In a rare occurrence, the Texans hosted their playoff game at Texan Gym where Wimberley took on San Antonio YMLA. The Texans defeated the Lions 88-47 for their third straight playoff win. Wimberley fell to Sweeny in the area round.
On the soccer field, the Lady Texans again made a deep playoff run after placing third in district. The Lady Texans defeated Georgetown Gateway 3-2 in Bi-District before beating district champion Pleasanton 2-0 in the area round. In the regional quarterfinals, the Lady Texans fell to rival Boerne.
