Emily Thames landed a hat trick on the way to leading the Lady Texans to victory in the first district game of the year.

Inarguably the most important game of the season, the Texans boys basketball team defeated the Bandera Bulldogs 73-53 to keep their hopes of a district championship alive.

The Wimberley Texan soccer team started out district play with a win over Canyon Lake.

The Wimberley girls basketball team wrapped up the first round of district play last week with an important 49-46 win over the Davenport Wolves before falling to the state ranked Boerne Greyhounds in a 74-24 loss.

It was a packed house in Wimberley Friday night as the Texans and the Boerne Greyhounds battled it out for a chance to have a leg up in the hunt for a district championship.

The Lady Texan soccer team didn’t lose a game this week; however, they didn’t win one either.

The basketball rivalry between Wimberley and Fredericksburg had reached a fever pitch last year following a thrilling overtime game that saw the Texans knock off the Billies.

The only blemish on the Lady Texan’s young season came at an inopportune time. In the inaugural Lady Texan Cup, the first soccer tournament hosted by the Wimberley girls’ soccer team, Wimberley placed third after falling to Pieper 3-1 on the second day of the event. However, that loss was a learning experience. After all, it was the first time in eight games the girls had even trailed in a game.

Despite a rough outing against Fredericksburg, the Lady Texans still remain on top of the district standings with an important win over Bandera.

After having two games canceled last week, the Wimberley boys basketball team got off one last nondistrict game as the Texans defeated the Blanco Panthers 77-63.
