In a battle for position atop district standings, the Wimberley Texans hosted Geronimo Navarro’s Panthers Friday night at Texan Stadium. The game historically determines the district championship and brings together all things good about Friday Night Lights - hard-hitting defenses, explosive plays on offense, and intense struggles to impose a team’s will on its opponent. This game was no exception.

It isn’t uncommon for one team to dominate the other in a high school football game, but what the Code Red defense did to the Manor New Tech Titans last week rises to an entirely different level. Not only did Wimberley shut out Manor in the 63-0 victory, the Titans never earned a first down.

Wimberley and Boerne were tied in the district standings. At least they were before Friday’s game.

A Texan hole in one

There might not be anything more satisfying in high school football than spoiling an opponent’s homecoming game. Given Wimberley’s well-earned reputation as a good football program, most teams don’t give the Texans the chance to take over homecoming, but the Lampasas Badgers felt they were up for the challenge.
