Wimberley rebounds with a win against Navarro
WIMBERLEY — The Wimberley Texans football team rebounded with a win on the road after suffering two consecutive away game losses to LBJ and Lampasas. With a 2-2 record, and their third consecutive away game, the Texans opened 4A Division 2 District 13 play with a decisive 47-21 win over host Navarro High School on Friday, Sept. 27. It was a huge win for Wimberley, who had not lost back-to-back games since the 2020 season. Head coach Doug Warren was impressed with the way the Texans began district play and put the two losses in the rear-view mirror: “We knew that everyone was 0-0 heading into the start of district play and how important it was for us to get a win on the road. We had a good week of practice and followed that up with a good outing on Friday night.” The Texans led 26-0 at the half and the scoring started from their first possession and play when Nolan Waida took a hand-off from quarterback Cody Stoever and ran for a 60-yard touchdown. Stoever would score next on an 8-yard run for a 12-0 lead after both extra points were missed. Waida who totaled 53 yards on two receptions, both resulting in touchdowns, scored on a 30-yard pass from Stoever for a 19-0 lead after the point after kick by Bo Holman was good. Josh Belanger recovered the ball in the end zone for a touchdown after a pass reception was fumbled, and the extra point was good to end the first half. Scoring in the second half came from a 52-yard touchdown run by Jace Morales, a 23-yard touchdown pass to Waida and a touchdown run by Benji Olmedo (six carries for 22 yards). Stoever led in rushing with 72 of the Texans’ 288 yards. Cory Chappell had 22 yards, Jackson Parker had five yards, Mavreick Jacobs had 11 yards and Belanger had 44 yards. Waida led in pass receptions with 52 yards of the Texans’ 152-yard total. Morales had 42 yards and Bryson Anderson had 44 yards. Wimberley 3-2 (1-0) is open next week and has five games remaining on the schedule. The Texans will host Salado High School 2-3 (0-1) at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 11 before traveling to Jarrell High School on Oct. 18. “This is a good time to have the bye so we can rest up and heal before the back end of the season,” Warren said.

In the first meeting between rivals Texas State and Sam Houston since 2011, it was the Bearkats celebrating the win as the Bobcats fell 40-39 following a game-winning field goal with just six seconds remaining. It was a disappointing loss for the Bobcats, which led 22-0 at the end of the first quarter and 39-21 in the third quarter before the Bearkats made their comeback. “We didn’t play well enough, we weren’t disciplined and we didn’t coach well enough to win a game against a good team,” Head Coach G.J. Kinne said. “We have to get back to work tomorrow, which is...
