Coming into the high school Class 4A D2 state semifinal game on Friday, Dec. 8 against Bellville at the Pfield in Pflugerville with a 14-0 record, Wimberley and the Texans’ quarterback Cody Stoever had been unstoppable — and Bellville couldn’t stop Stoever either. Stoever carried the ball 43 times for 203 yards and scored all five of the Texans touchdowns, but a controversial call on a two-point conversion play to tie the game stopped Stoever inches from the goal line, ending the Texans’ season with a close score of 33-35 and denying them a chance to play for the State Championship.
