Two Central Texas high schools finished second in the 2009-10 Lone Star Cup competition, according to results released Thursday by the University Interscholastic League.

Westlake finished as the Class 5A runner-up behind The Woodlands, while Lake Travis took second in Class 4A, placing just behind Friendswood.

The other Lone Star Cup champions were Lucas Lovejoy in 3A, Brock in 2A and Cayuga in Class A.

Schools earn Lone Star Cup points based on their teams' results in various UIL-sanctioned athletic and academic championships.

This past school year, The Woodlands won state championships in boys cross country, boys swimming and diving and girls soccer. The Highlanders have won four Lone Star Cup titles in the past five years.

Friendswood and Brock won their second consecutive Lone Star Cup championships, while Lucas Lovejoy and Cayuga earned their first titles.

Other Central Texas schools to finish in the top 10 of their classifications were: Bowie, Class 5A; Dripping Springs, Class 4A; Wimberley and La Grange, Class 3A; and Salado, Class 2A.
