The Indians started their 8-0 run after a loss to Kermit which sparked a win 68-52 win over Levelland to knock them out of the top 20.
“I feel like we just clicked during the Levelland game,” Wimmer said. “Ever since then we have really been playing off our strengths as a team, and haven’t allowed egos to get in the way.”
The Indians have four district games left including tonight’s against Andrews.
