Lake Travis wins 7-on-7 title

You can add another trophy to the case at Lake Travis. Their football team won the state 7-on-7 championship at Kyle Field on Saturday.

Lake Travis beat DeSoto 42-39 for the Division-I summer league title. Senior receiver Connor Floyd was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player. Senior quarterback Michael Brewer threw for all six touchdowns.

Brewer led the Cavaliers to their third straight 4A state championship in 2009. Garrett Gilbert, now a quarterback for the Texas Longhorns, led Lake Travis to their first two.

Should Lake Travis four-peat, it will be with a third different coach. Former defensive coordinator Hank Carter is now their first-year head coach, replacing Chad Morris.

The state 7-on-7 tournament began with 64 teams in the Division-I bracket and 64 teams in the Division-II bracket. Brownwood won the Division-II championship over Cameron, 34-32.
