Avenging their loss to Fredericksburg last year, the Texan baseball team came back this year to sweep the two game series with the Billies to put themselves ahead of the district standings.

The Wimberley girls’ soccer team finished the season with a 4-1 loss to Calallen in the UIL Region IV Semifinals. This was the second year in a row that Calallen knocked Wimberley out of the playoffs at the regional tournament.

After an emotional series against Canyon Lake, the Wimberley Texans baseball team needed to bounce back against the Bandera Bulldogs in order to stay in the playoff race in the competitive District 28.

With their loss to Canyon Lake last Tuesday, the Wimberley softball team needed to win their two games against Bandera and Davenport to avoid a tiebreaker scenario.

The Wimberley Texans softball team was able to round out the first round of district play this week including taking an important 14-3 win over the Davenport Wolves on Tuesday.

“It was probably the most exciting game I’ve ever been a part of in the six years I’ve been in Wimberley,” Wimberley Girls’ Soccer Coach Brinton Nute said.

It is hard to win a district championship. It’s even harder to win two. But Wimberley took that to an entirely new level when they crowned two back-to-back district champion golfers last weekend.

A double-double is typically a basketball term, but it works well to explain the Wimberley Texan tennis team, whose doubles teams doubled up on district championships last week.

The Battle of the Backbone ended in a split series as rivals Wimberley and Canyon Lake clashed to add another chapter in their short history with the Hawks winning Game 1 at 11-10 and the Texans taking Game 2 at 4-3.

It didn’t even take a full game for the Wimberley Lady Texan soccer team to right a historical wrong.
