Lake Travis, ranked 6th in the state in Class 6A, is still undefeated at 6-0 and has not been tested since their 2nd game of the season when they won a three-point thriller over Rockwall. Their dominant run includes two district blowout wins over Bowie and Del Valle over the last two weeks.
This begins a tough two-week stretch for the Cavaliers, as they play arch-rival Westlake next week in a battle of top 10 teams.
Lake Travis looks to be the favorite in this one but will be looking to get their first win over Dripping Springs since the Tigers became a 6A team and moved into the same district as L.T. In 2022, Dripping Springs beat the Cavaliers 38-31, then beat the Cavs again last season, 24-6.
