LBJ, the No. 1 team in the Class 4A/others poll, got absolutely *walloped* 57-0 by visiting Waco La Vega on Friday night. That’s not a typo. Fifty-seven. To zero. It was just one of several shocking results as Week 2 of the Central Texas high school football season saw some major upsets, with many ranked teams taking a serious hit. The chaos was real.
Two Kings Still Standing: Lake Travis and Westlake Dominate
While many fell, a couple of heavy hitters stood tall. The Lake Travis Cavaliers cruised past the Weiss Wolves, a top-five preseason team, with a solid 38-21 win. You saw those Lake Travis cheerleaders celebrating in the fourth quarter, right? Running back Teddy Lofgren was out there in the first quarter, looking for a way through that Weiss defense, and they got the job done. Then there’s Westlake. They beat Euless Trinity 35-10, looking sharp. Receiver Braden Riddell was making plays, running the ball hard. Defensive back Mateus Teixeira even forced a fumble from Trinity tight end Kohen Fiefia, which is huge! And quarterback Patton Jones ran the ball, keeping that offense moving. These two teams clearly got the memo that Week 2 was no time for messing around.
Widespread Chaos: Ranked Teams Get ROCKED
But for almost everyone else in the rankings, it was a rough week. Weiss, a preseason top-five team, went down to Lake Travis. Vandegrift, ranked in our Class 6A poll, got crushed 38-7 by S.A. Johnson. Bowie, another Class 6A ranked squad, lost a tight one 40-37 to Vista Ridge. Georgetown, ranked in the 5A poll, couldn’t hold off Rouse, falling 45-27. And, of course, the stunning 57-0 “walloping” of LBJ by Waco La Vega. Seriously? The No. 1 team getting shut out like that, it’s brutal. What gives with these early season struggles?
Refs No-Show: The Wildest Postponement Yet
And just when you thought the upsets were the wildest part of the week, Liberty Hill’s game at San Marcos got postponed until Saturday morning. Why? Because the referees didn’t make it to Rattler Stadium! Are you kidding me right now? You can’t make this stuff up. That game, along with Elgin at Northeast, is still set for Saturday morning. Everyone’s waiting to see if these top teams can actually figure out how to play next week, or if Week 2 was just a taste of pure chaos for the entire season.
