Mike Says: Here is what we wrote back in August: "Pearland Dawson playing in only their fourth varsity season will play in their second semifinal game. They meet up with four time defending state champion Austin Lake Travis again. They will not make it to the championship game again as Austin Lake Travis will play for their fifth in a row.......Austin Lake Travis wins their fifth consecutive state championship." Midway took out Denton Ryan who we thought would be here playing for the championship. Not many people agreed with me last week about picking them over Tyler John Tyler but here they are. Lake Travis has been cruising exect for their game against Cedar Park. Midway will keep it close. The CAVALIERS win 31-28!!!

Class 4A Pre-Season Championship Predictions

Chris Says: Although I have been saying all along that Waco Hewitt Midway is a lot tougher than most people are aware, that doesn't mean they are tough enough to derail the Cavaliers. Austin Lake Travis has done with an almost completely different cast of characters each of their four previous state championships. The "drive for five" is not only alive, but the Austin Lake Travis Cavaliers will walk away from this with a record that may never be broken (even by themselves). The CAVALIERS win their 5th consecutive state championship 42-30!!!
