Lake Travis View

Lake Travis (37-10) pushed Highland Park to the brink of elimination Thursday night at Strahan Coliseum, but fell 17-15 in the fifth game of the state semifinal match.

Highland Park won the opening game 25-20, but Lake Travis bounced back with a dominating 25-15 win in the second game. The Lady Scots won the third game 25-20, but the Lady Cavs had an answer yet again, winning 26-24 in the fourth.

Lake Travis carried the momentum into the fifth and deciding game, leading 12-10 down the stretch before Highland Park pulled back to tie it at 13-13, and then took the lead 14-13. Lake Travis would tie it twice before a Highland Park kill attempt bounced off a Lake Travis block and out of the reach of the Lake Travis back row.

The Lady Cavs are coming off their best season ever, one in which they were regional semifinalists.

On paper, not much has changed. Three starters are returning in senior Katelyn Bartell, senior Madi Wilkins and junior Kat Vidovic.
