Despite the sports season ending last week, Wimberley is bringing home another trophy to add to their collection.
Following the conclusion of the UIL State Baseball Tournament, Wimberley was declared the winner of the UIL 4A Lone Star Cup, winning the cup with 106.5 points over second place Celina who finished with 106 points and Canyon Randall who finished with 103.5 points.
This marks the second time Wimberley has won the Lone Star Cup with the Texans winning in the 19992000 UIL sports season.
The Lone Star Cup is awarded to six high schools of each classification based on a school’s performance both in district and state championships.
This year’s sports season is considered to be one of the best in program history for Wimberley in regards to the number of teams that not only won district championships but also competed for state championships in their respective sports.
The season started off with a bang as the Wimberley volleyball team captured their first state title since 2007, beating Canyon Randall 3-2 in a reverse sweep. Texans football captured their fourth straight district championship and advanced to their third consecutive state semifinal game.
