The Bee Cave Bee

The Lake Travis Cavaliers defeated the Waco Midway Panthers 22-7 Friday, December 16 at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington for the Class 4A – Division I state final and become the first team to win five consecutive state titles in the history of Texas high school football.

Since the 2007 season, the Cavaliers are 77-3, including a state-record 30 straight post-season wins.  Hank Carter picked up his second state title in as many years as the Cavs’ head coach.  In 2010, Carter guided the Cavaliers past Denton Ryan to win his first championship.  Carter was the defensive coordinator during the 2008 and 2009 undefeated seasons at Lake Travis when those teams beat the Longview Lobos for consecutive state championships. 

The University Interscholastic League named seniors Colin Lagasse and Jacob Standard the 2011 Class 4A-Division I State Final Offensive and Defensive Most Valuable Players, respectively.

“What an incredible journey this has been,” stated Carter after the game.  “Our victory today personifies the collective heart and soul of this team.  I congratulate our players and coaching staff for their determination and resolve.  I thank our parents as well as our school and district administration for their support of our students and our program.  This unique piece of history belongs to the entire LT community.”

In 2007, the Cavs won the Class 4A – Division II football state championship by defeating the Highland Park Scots.
