Stony Point ranked higher than Lake Travis?

December 19, 2008

Depending on who you talk to and where you look, you will see Stony Point High School in Round Rock is ranked higher (6th in the State of Texas) than Lake Travis High School (ranked 7th).  This makes absolutely no sense to me only because Stony Point has lost 2 games this season and Lake Travis is currently undefeated playing in the Texas 4A State Championship.  Stony Point can only go down from here though I would think.  They are out of the playoffs already and their season is through.  I am seriously contemplating going to the Lake Travis game tomorrow.  I havent figured out if thats what I want to do yet or not.  I will more than likely be going to the game though even though it means missing the Division 3 National Championship and the Montana game.   I am doing this only because I really want to see Garrett Gilbert play.  If he ever reads this, I hope he realizes that he has a huge fan in SideLineBlog.  We do sports the right way, and I want to officially make this statement, “Sidelineblog.com believes that Lake Travis High School should be ranked #1 in the nation.”  This is true because they have not lost this season, outside of the first game of the season, their closest game has been 15 points.  They beat Killeen on a neutral field 71-9 in the Area playoffs.  I don’t think they are playing around.

Lake Travis breaks Top 25 in Nation

December 11, 2008

With a 42-3 victory over 9-1 Dripping Springs, a 54-14 win over Marble Falls, Lake Travis was the leading District 25 4A team going into playoffs.  They started out this past week where they left off in the regular season beating Johnson High School (Austin, Tx) 55-14.  They look good in the Division 1 bracket but I can only thank god that Dripping Springs will more than likely never have to face them.  Dripping Springs’ stiffest competition will come this weekend with Kerrville Tivy.  The Tivy Antlers, a lot like the Lake Travis Caviliers has been up against multiple 5A schools this season as they are expecting to move up at some point.  I think the Tivy – Drip game will decide most of their bracket whereas Lake Travis has a pretty rough schedule ahead of them.

Dripping Springs gets owned in 2nd half against Lake Travis.

November 4, 2008

The score after the first quarter was 3-0 Dripping Springs.  You have never seen a happier boy than I was at that moment.  Here I was having predicted my favorite teams to win this weekend in big games:  Texas at Texas Tech, Dripping Springs at Lake Travis and the Dallas Cowboys at the New York Giants.  Then the second quarter rolled around.  By halftime I knew it was over and the final score was 42-3 so you tell me.  I thought Mitch Lawson would bring the thunder but he only had a few big hits and its apparent that he cant win the game for Dripping Springs by himself.  Jeff Tuck and Jacob Moore have got to light it up if they are going to have any chance in the playoffs.  Yes boys and girls…your Dripping Springs Tigers are going to the playoffs!!! This is probably the most exciting thing since chocolate.  My man Garrett Gilbert looked as good as I thought he would in the game thank goodness.  That was the only great thing I got out of that game is the future lifetime longhorn Garrett Gilbert looked good.
