Two dynasties,
twelve miles apart
No two programs in Texas have lived closer, or fought harder, than these.
They sit barely twelve miles apart across the cedar hills west of Austin — Westlake, the old-money power of Eanes ISD, and Lake Travis, the lake-country upstart that grew into a juggernaut. Since their first meeting in 2006, the “Battle of the Lakes” has decided districts, ended seasons, and sent a remarkable line of quarterbacks to Saturdays and Sundays.
Between them they own ten state championships — Lake Travis’ six (including the first five-in-a-row run in Texas history) and Westlake’s four (with a modern 6A three-peat). When they meet, the rest of Central Texas stops to watch.
2025: Lake Travis 34, Westlake 10KVUE’s Friday Football Fever — the Cavaliers snap a six-game losing streak in the series, their first win since 2019 and first at Chaparral Stadium in a decade.
