Cavs boys basketball heads to state with 38-31 win over Tivy
by Mark Kusenberger
SAsports.com Senior Writer
After the Class 4A Region Champion Game at Littleton Gym Saturday afternoon, one of the Lake Travis fathers was overheard to say, “So you still think we’re a football school?”
Well, in a sense, yes. The Lake Travis side seemed a bit subdued, and since they last lost a football game, Lake Travis has won three state championships and lost two head football coaches.
So yes, Lake Travis is still a football school. But they are surely more now, after a 38-31 victory over Kerrville Tivy sent them to the state tournament.
David Eads led the way with 19 points, 14 in the first half.
Although the Antlers never led, they stayed true to their supporters’ chant “Tivy Fight Never Dies!” The game was tied at four and fourteen. And Tivy was within two with 6:37 left in the game.
But each time, Lake Travis (32-4) had a response. With the game tied a fourteen, Lake Travis’ David Eads went on a 10-0 run to make it 24-14. Yes, Eads scored all 10 points of the run. The highlight was the shot that made it 20-14, where Eads faked to his left so well that his defender fell down trying to reverse his direction while Eads made a wide-open look from the corner of the lane.
Tivy (29-6) answered with a 9-1 run to pull back within two about halfway through the third quarter at 25-23. Again, the Cavaliers answered, this time with an 8-0 to build the lead back up to ten at 33-23 with 27.5 seconds left in the third.
The Antlers had one last response – an 8-0 run of their own to come back to within two at 33-31. Jonathan Perry scored the last five of the run to start the fourth quarter.
Then Lake Travis coach Jan Jernberg called timeout with 6:37 left in the game. Whatever he said worked, because the Cavaliers shut out the Antlers the rest of the ballgame.
Tivy kept it interesting by limiting Lake Travis to five points the rest of the game. Over a near five-minute span, the only point was a free throw by Lake Travis’s Zach Karczewski. Tivy lost a chance to tie the game at 33 when a no-look pass went out of bounds, and all the shooters went cold from the floor the rest of the game. Perry, Tivy’s All-Region leader, after scoring the quarter’s first five points to close the gap, could not convert from the field the rest of the way. Cole Vucurevich’s layup – assisted by Eads after a 90-second possession – and two free throws by Billy Sherakas with 46.2 seconds left finally put the game away.
Lake Travis will play in the state tournament Thursday night at either 7 p.m. or 8:30 p.m. Their likely opponent appears to be Lancaster, with Houston Yates and Lewisville the Colony to meet in the other semifinal.
So yes, Lake Travis is now a boys basketball school.
But doesn’t 38-31 look like the score of a football game?

The Lake Travis Cavaliers during their 40+ game winning streak, have probably never seen the likes of Steele running back Malcolm Brown.
But when it was fourth and goal late in the fourth quarter with Steele driving inside the five yard line of Lake Travis, the Cavs were able to stop Brown from scoring what could have been the game-tying touchdown. Lake Travis held on for a 27-20 victory.

The final race of the Region IV 5A meet - the 1600 meter relay - provided the same drama that usually accompanies great athletic events.
And while the Wagner Thunderbirds won this battle over Brownsville Pace, Judson, Warren, Eagle Pass, and Smithson Valley. it was the Judson boys and girls who won the team championships.
Many came to see New Braunfels’ pole vault star Demi Payne.
She won, and qualified for the state meet, to be held June 5-6.
Judson did, however, win the 400 and 800 meter relay races.
Christina Holland of Judson broke the regional record in the 300 meter hurdles.
The 110 hurdle finals - from left to right - Hayden Greenbauer, Clark (4th), Aaron Green, Madison (1st), Phillip Gaines, Judson (2nd)
Sidney Cauthorn of Lake Travis won the 4A 400 meter race ahead of teammate Victoria Noetzel.
How’s this for close in the 200: 1. (left) Sheldon McClain, Steele, 21.94; 2. (right) Cameron Hickman, Hutto, 21.98; 3. (center) Willie Culpepper, Brackenridge, 22.09.
Cole Saathoff of O’Connor makes another attempt in the pole vault.

For the first time since SAsports.com began in 2001, there won’t be a state volleyball champion among our 130 schools that we cover.
Both the Lake Travis Cavaliers and the Shiner Comanches fell at the state tourney, with Lake Travis losing in five games, and Shiner in four.
Congratulations to both programs; less than one percent of Texas high school athletes have the opportunity to play at a state tournament, and these girls worked hard to get there this year.
Also, congratulations to Antonian and Incarnate Word volleyball teams; two weeks earlier, they played at the TAPPS state tournament, with the Apaches falling in the semifinals, and the Shamrocks losing in the finals.
