Peyton King was Wheeler's top target, picking up 93 receiving yards and a pair of TDs.

Maverick Jacobs was nothing short of spectacular for Wimberley: he rushed for 102 yards and three scores, and also picked up 59 receiving yards and one touchdown. Those three rushing touchdowns gave Jacobs a new career-high. Jackson Parker was another key player, throwing for 218 yards and a pair of TDs.
