The spotlight on Texas high school football will be heavily focused on Austin this Friday when No. 15 Westlake takes on Lake Travis.
Both teams enter the game undefeated, opening up storylines that go beyond City supremacy, with a possible impact on the Super 25 looming next week.
Westlake enters the game on a massive 35-game regular season winning streak and is currently ranked 15th in the national rankings. Led by junior quarterback Paxton Land, the Chaparrals’ offense has put up impressive numbers through the first three games, although it is the defense that has allowed just 21 points so far, highlighting this dynamic squad.
On the other hand, Lake Travis has matched the Chaps’ performance in 2023 with an impressive offense and an equally stingy defense. The team has 15 returning starters from 2022which includes a solid offensive line in front of junior quarterback Kadyn Leon and 2024 classmate standout Nico Hamilton at running back.
The offensive attack is complemented by an experienced defense that has given up an average of just 10 points per game.
Will it be enough for the Cavaliers to go back to 2019 – the last time the team beat their cross-town rival – and claim victory?
In the land of 6A Texas football, anything can happen under the Friday night lights.
