LT High School Football vs Akins High

On Halloween night, Lake Travis returns home to face the Austin Akins Eagles in what promises to be a spirited district clash at Dripping Springs’ Tiger Stadium (serving as a temporary home during Lt stauium renovations).

The Cavaliers carry high expectations following a 12–2 finish last year, lean on their rushing attack led by senior Vann Hopping, who logged 29 touchdowns in 2024 and is poised for another standout season.

Excitement is also building around the new starting quarterback, Luke McBride, a standout in summer workouts and 7-on-7 tournaments; coaches trust his poise and precision will unlock Lake Travis’s dynamic offensive weapons.

Eagles Seeking Upset, Fuelled by Opportunity
Although Akins enters the contest unranked and still finding its identity in District 26-6A, the Eagles still represent a challenge—especially with Lake Travis already managing a limited number of home games due to ongoing renovations.

Akins will likely emphasize toughness and opportunistic play, treating this high-profile matchup as a chance to shake up the district standings. For Lake Travis, success hinges on balanced execution: efficient quarterback play, physical ground game from Hopping, and defensive discipline to maintain momentum heading into the postseason.
