I think the final score is Lake Travis 37 - Tivy 33.

Radio went down so I don't know.

Great game. Would have been better if Tivy had won.

Sounded like was a truly great game. Knew it would be. Tow excellent programs, similar in nature. No inner city swagger, just well coached and execute well. Two traits that really count in HS football.

I've seen all but 3 of Lake Travis' games over the past 4 years and I can say without a doubt that Johnny Manziel is, by far, the best QB we have faced.

Was LT playing with the same roster as last week?

I think he's committed to Oregon hasn't he? Sounds like he's the kind of kid who will really thrive in that kind of wild and wide open offense. Looking forward to seeing him on my TV in the next few years.

Yes, our junior quarterback Colin Lagasse got the start with Brewer on the side lines. I didn't know but Lagasse hadn't played quarterback since he was a freshman.

Was/is Brewer injured or some other reason?

You probably wish you had this post back don't you tivy dad?

Congrats. From what I've read this morning sounds like it was a really good game. Love the entertainment of a well matched battle....dislike blowouts...hate it when people start leaving in the 3rd and don't hang around to support the team. Talent often hides quietly until given an opportunity. Lagasse has really ramped up quickly for not playing the position in two years. Have to admit though, I'm hoping now that LT beat another top 5 team with the same lineup, it will put the rumblings for the Aledo win to rest. That was just a great game.

He's been injured since the Hendrickson game.

Cavaliers hold off Antlers, 37-33 Friday, September 17, 2010 | Max Thompson

It’s been a long time since the Cavaliers had two straight weeks of games decided by less than a touchdown. It’s safe to say they’d prefer this be the last time, even though they got the ending they wanted.
No. 4 Lake Travis (3-1) held off No. 5 Kerrville Tivy (3-1) and quarterback Johnny Manziel when it mattered most Friday night, winning 37-33.
The gloomy haze that hung over the Cavaliers since last week’s loss to Aledo was lifted the instant junior quarterback Colin Lagasse took a knee for the final time.
“This is so much better,” Lagasse said. “We worked really hard all week to make sure that wouldn’t happen again and you know, everything paid off in the end.”
It certainly paid off for Lagasse who, in his second varsity start in place of the injured Michael Brewer, completed 15 of 21 passes for 218 yards and four touchdowns while rushing 17 times for 69 yards and a score.
“He exceeded my expectations so much,” Lake Travis running back Michael Pojman said. “He hasn’t played quarterback since he was a freshman and he just started rolling. We got things going and felt like a changed team. It was just incredible.”
It was all the more incredible because of who they beat and the quarterback they were up against. Manziel was a one-man wrecking machine for the Antlers, completing 18 of 28 passes for 195 yards while rushing for an unheard of 271 yards on 37 carries. He ran for four touchdowns and threw for one, but it was the final pass of the game that cost him.
With 2:32 left in the game, facing fourth-and-7 at the Lake Travis 17-yard line, Manziel scrambled right to elude pressure and floated a prayer into the endzone. It was intercepted – by Lagasse.
“So much happened in that game, I’d forgotten about that,” Lagasse said. “I was just there at the right time and our defense did great the whole game.”
Ironically, in the end, Lagasse was the better Johnny on the spot.
It was Lake Travis’ defense that held in the end, giving the offense a chance to stun the Antlers. Early on, it looked like Manziel might be too much for the Cavaliers to handle.
Tivy jumped out to a 19-0 lead in the first quarter and seemed poised to blow Lake Travis out. But Lake Travis chipped away, first scoring on a 29-yard field goal by Stephen Pyle, then again on a touchdown pass from Lagasse to Cameron Wrinkle and closed out the first half with a 30-yard pass from Lagasse to Griffin Gilbert. Lake Travis had regained the momentum and were within three with the score 19-16 at halftime.
“I think once we got it to 19-9, things really started to turn around,” Pojman said. “Then to have it at 19-16 at halftime, we were well within reach and ready to play our game.”
The second half didn’t start well for Lake Travis, though. Squeezed by pressure on the third play of the opening drive, Lagasse forced a pass that was intercepted – his lone mistake of the game.
Tivy responded by scoring in four plays on a 15-yard run by Manziel to make it 26-16.
Unfazed, Lake Travis scored in five plays on the ensuing drive when Lagasse cruised in from four yards out. But Tivy answered with an 11-pay drive that was capped by another Manziel run to keep the lead at 10, 33-23.
The Cavaliers continued to look like the team that is constantly focused on executing 80-plus on offense, scoring on six plays with a 32-yard pass from Lagasse to Gilbert. That’s when the Lake Travis defense stepped up, stopping Tivy on three plays, including two sacks of Manziel, forcing the Antlers’ second punt of the game and first of the second half. Five players later, like clockwork, the Cavaliers scored again – this time on a 19-yard pass from Lagasse to Gilbert to make it 37-33.
Whether Manziel was worn down or the Cavalier defense had him figured out, the Antlers stalled again. Facing fourth-and-one on their own 29, the Antlers jumped offsides and were forced to punt.
“We started blitzing more toward the end and changed up the defense a lot,” Lake Travis linebacker Paul Heinen said. “That seemed like it confused him and by the end, I think he was getting a little bit tired.”
Lake Travis stalled on its next drive, giving Tivy one more shot. But that’s when Lagasse stepped up yet again.
A starting safety last season and in the first two games of this season, Lagasse was featured on big third and fourth downs throughout the game.
“I just felt like we couldn’t get beat in the second half,” Lagasse said. “We were just too charged up and going forward with it.”
Lagasse wasn’t the Cavaliers’ only hero, though, and he knew it, giving praise to everyone that stepped up.
Gilbert caught seven passes for 114 yards and two touchdowns, while Pojman ran nine times for 84 yards and caught a pass
