  "account": "The annual Battle of the Lakes rivalry took place on October 24, 2025, at Chaparral Stadium in West Lake Hills, with the Lake Travis Cavaliers defeating the Westlake Chaparrals 31-10. The Cavaliers' season opener comes after a challenging August, which included the cancellation of their opening game against Dripping Springs due to the death of senior offensive lineman Odin Hensley. This year, the Cavs have a new quarterback in Jason Carter, son of head coach Hank Carter. If the Cavaliers do not win tonight's game against Weiss, they will fall out of the Austin area's No. 1 ranking. The Westlake Wolves, ranked No. 4 in the preseason poll and boasting numerous college prospects, defeated Round Rock 42-28 in their previous game. The matchup between Westlake and Euless Trinity will begin tomorrow, followed by a game between Westlake and Prosper.",
