The Texans have clinched a share of the district championship beating both Fredericksburg and New Braunfels Long Creek while setting their sights on the outright district championship when Wimberley hosts Davenport Tuesday night.

The Texans rolled past their Hill Country rivals, defeating the Battlin’ Billies 99-47.
The win was highlighted by senior Paul Gumbert-Mendoza setting a new program record for most points in a single game with 48. The old record was 46, set in 2022-23 season.
Gumbert-Mendoza also set a new program record for most career rebounds with 661. The old record was 659. Gumbert-Mendoza also led the team with nine assists and seven steals.
Senior Holden Crawford was second in scoring with 13 points while Reece Wortham was third with 10. Junior Nathan Baker was first in rebounds with 11.

The Wolves enter the game with a 23-9 overall record and a 8-1 district record. The lone district loss came against Wimberley as the Texans defeated the Wolves 62-37.
