Basketball Recap: Wimberley Snags Tenth Victory in Last 11 Games

It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Wimberley had no problem doing just that on Saturday. They came out on top against the Carrizo Springs Wildcats by a score of 65-58. Given the Texans' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas basketball rankings (they are ranked 246th, while the Wildcats are ranked 653rd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

It was another big night for Paul Gumbert-Mendoza, who went 10-for-16 to rack up 34 points. His evening made it 13 games in a row in which he has scored at least 16 points. Gavin Olmer was another key player, putting up eight points and 11 boards.

Wimberley has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won ten of their last 11 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 26-9 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 70.3 points over those games. Carrizo Springs' defeat dropped their record down to 20-14.

Looking ahead, Wimberley will face off against Wharton at 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Wharton will roll in looking for their ninth straight win, something Wimberley surely won't give up without a fight. Carrizo Springs does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
