Bastrop
Wimberley defeated 5A Bastrop in high school TEAM TENNIS on Thursday afternoon, Sept.
2nd. With the skies threatening rain in Bastrop throughout the afternoon, the Texans were
able to quickly win all the doubles matches to take a 7-0 lead. Although several areas in
central Texas ultimately did get some rain, the moisture never fell on Bastrop and the Texans
were able to take all but one of the singles matches. Final score 18-1 in favor of Wimberley.
The win on Thursday afternoon raised the WHS TEAM TENNIS record to 4 wins with 2 losses
on the season. Next up is a match against Marble Falls on Wednesday afternoon, Sept. 8th
here in Wimberley. The dual was originally scheduled for Sept. 9th but Marble Falls requested
that it be moved to Wednesday the 8th to avoid a conflict with their homecoming activities.
The dual should begin about 4 pm here in Wimberley.

The excitement of beginning the TEAM TENNIS season with wins over a couple of good
schools was replaced this past Saturday with a cold dose of reality. That reality being that this
year’s WHS tennis team is still a young team with a lot of work to do…….particularly in doubles.
In TEAM TENNIS action on Saturday morning, August 28th the 4A Austin Vandegrift Vipers
whipped the Texans 16-3. The Vipers led 6-1 after the doubles and cruised to an easy TEAM
TENNIS victory. The Texans did get a couple of very good singles victories at the end of the
dual from Hannah Whisenant and Mackenzie Araiza. Those victories combined with a mixed
doubles victory from Cody Smith and Hannah were all Wimberley could muster in the morning
match.
5A Austin High was just as tough on the Texans in the Saturday afternoon match. Again
Wimberley found itself in a bind as the doubles results ended up in favor of Austin High 6-1.
Cody Smith and Kaylyn Hunt got the one win in mixed doubles although several other doubles
combinations played well in losing efforts including Aaron Willis with Michael Young and Hunter
Cawley with Mesa Martorell. In singles Savanna Martorell and Hunter Cawley picked up nice
wins for the Texans but that was all Wimberley would get on the afternoon. The singles
victories piled up for Austin High and they built an insurmountable 11-3 lead. Their coach
elected not to finish the remaining matches against Wimberley and decided to just head home.
After a pretty good thrashing from two opponents on a hot day in San Marcos, the Texans were
ready to head home too.
Another reality. The young Texan tennis team fought hard on most every court Saturday, even
when they were tired and over-matched. It was a good effort from a talented group against
some very good players from Austin. Now, it’s back to work in practices this week before a
scheduled Thursday afternoon, Sept. 2nd TEAM TENNIS dual against the Bastrop Bears. The
dual will be played on the tennis courts at the brand new Cedar Creek High School located just
east of Bastrop at about 4 pm. If you get a chance, come watch a young team keep working to
improve.
The individual scores of this match and all matches are on the website at www.wimberley.txed.
net. Once you are on the school website go to “Texan Athletics” and then “Tennis”.
