Two of the most storied programs in the state of Texas over the last 20 years, and winners of a combined nine state titles since 2007, rekindle the best rivalry in the Austin area this Friday night, as undefeated Lake Travis hosts Westlake in a battle between two of Class 6As top 15 teams.

The 7–0 Cavaliers still have their sights set on their first undefeated full regular season since 2015. They did go unbeaten in a COVID-shortened six-game regular season in 2020.

Quarterback Chaston Ditta led Lake Travis to an impressive 49-21 win at Dripping Springs last week, adding to a list of quality wins the Cavs have had this season over the likes of Rockwall, Arlington Martin, and Bowie.

This series has gone in streaks. Westlake has won 6 of the last 7 meetings, including a regular season and playoff meeting, UB 2023. Lake Travis won 10 in a row over the Chaps before that.
