The Austin Lake Travis Cavaliers completed their Drive For Five with their 5th consecutive state championship with a win over the Panthers from Waco Hewitt Midway.   With the win, Lake Travis becomes the first team to ever win 5 in a row. Only Celina (1998-2001) and Sealy (1994-1997) have won four straight. This was Midways first championship appearance.

This was a very defensive game where the Cavaliers led 10-0 at the half. Midway made it interesting though, when they returned the opening kickoff of the 2nd half for a touchdown. Lake Travis was able to get another field goal and finally a touchdown with 4:40 left in the game to earn the victory. The Cavalier defense held Midway to 177 total yards and forced 4 turnovers.

Scoring Summary:
