In Region IV there are only two teams that have State Championship tradition and pedigree. Those teams are Wimberley and Cuero. The Texans have won five out of the last seven region titles (‘17, ‘19, ‘20, ‘22, ‘23). The other two were won by the Gobblers (‘18, ‘21). The two teams collide for the 17th time on Friday at 7:30 P.M., when the Cuero Gobblers (93) take on the Wimberley Texans (10-2), in the Regionals round of the playoffs at Bobcat Stadium in San Marcos. Cuero holds a 9-7 alltime series lead, but the playoff series is 4-4.
“Wimberley is really good, obviously. They are coached really well. They are very disciplined. There is a good, rich tradition between Wimberley and Cuero. We are looking forward to seeing some film and then preparing and getting ourselves ready to play a good football team. You know we got a good football team too,” said Coach Jerod Fikac.
The Texans are coached by Doug Warren, who is in his 12th season. His career record is 117-46 and has coached the Texans to two State Finals in his tenure. He was the Offensive Coordinator during their State Championship run in 2011.
