Showing tremendous grit and even-keel temperament, Lake Travis captured a 3-1 road victory at Dripping Springs on Friday, Oct. 20, to sew up the District 26-6A title. A team that most overlook when the season begins has now clinched five straight district titles under coach Brandace Boren.

Lake Travis (41-4, 15-0) can close out a perfect district campaign during Tuesday’s regular-season finale at Westlake. Boren’s battle-tested squad is currently ranked 13th nationally in the USA TODAY HSS/American Volleyball Coaches Association poll.

The Cavs’ motto all season has been “Conquer the Mountain.” To do that, it meant they had to once again conquer the reigning state champion Tigers. LT came into Friday’s game 2-0 against Drip this season, but this was the two programs’ first matchup on Dripping Springs’ hardwood.

LT fell behind 7-1 in the first set but rattled off a 13-1 rally to square the equilibrium and take a commanding lead. From there, it took tremendous defense, pinpoint passing and tremendous shot-making. 

After Tuesday’s match against Westlake, LT will await its bi-district opponent in the first round of the UIL volleyball playoffs. The bi-district round is scheduled for Oct. 31. The time and location are still to be determined.
