WHEREAS, The football team from Lake Travis High School in |
|
|
Austin claimed the 2010 University Interscholastic League 4A |
|
|
Division 1 state championship with a commanding 27-7 victory in the |
|
|
title game on December 18, and this triumph earned the Cavaliers the |
|
|
rare distinction of having won four consecutive state crowns; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Playing before 20,487 fans at Cowboys Stadium in |
|
|
Arlington, Lake Travis dominated the highly respected team from |
|
|
Ryan High School in Denton, who entered the game with a perfect 15-0 |
|
|
record; the Lake Travis defense was key to the win, denying Ryan a |
|
|
first down until the third quarter and holding the Raiders to a |
|
|
single touchdown overall; leading the charge was linebacker Austin |
|
|
Williams, who tallied nine tackles and was named the game's |
|
|
defensive most valuable player; other key figures in the effort |
|
|
were safety Zach Streuling, cornerback Omar Duke-Tinson, defensive |
|
|
end Shaquille Marable, and defensive tackle Jonathan Roberts, who |
|
|
combined for 19 tackles; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The offensive MVP award went to Cavalier quarterback |
|
|
Michael Brewer, who passed for 211 yards and scored two touchdowns; |
|
|
adding to the point total were fullback Colin Lagasse, who scored a |
|
|
touchdown, and all-state kicker Stephen Pyle, who contributed field |
|
|
goals of 44 and 30 yards; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, First-year head coach Hank Carter continued the |
|
|
winning tradition that has been established at Lake Travis, which |
|
|
is the only 4A school in Texas to win four straight titles; the |
|
|
Cavaliers have now triumphed in 24 playoff games in a row, one short |
|
|
of the state record, and over the past four years they have amassed |
|
|
a 61-3 record; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, All members of the Lake Travis roster contributed to |
