Cornerstone Christian Upsets No. 1 Lake Travis, 48-35
The result reshapes Austin-area Class 6A rankings by showcasing Cornerstone's national recruiting and exposing Lake Travis's disrupted season.
Overview
- Cornerstone Christian beat Lake Travis 48-35 on Thursday night, moving the Warriors to 4-1 and dropping Lake Travis to 1-1-1 in their early-season stretch.
- Lake Travis allowed a 200-yard rusher, committed multiple turnovers including two interceptions and a kickoff turnover, and failed on several fourth-down attempts that swung momentum to Cornerstone.
- Cornerstone's roster includes high-profile prospects such as Jai'Storm Knight, Ahzan Bacote, Jaylen McKanel and DiAvion Jackson and the team runs a national schedule that has already included IMG Academy.
- Lake Travis has played only a little more than six quarters so far after canceling its Aug. 28 opener following the death of senior Odin Hensley and settling for a weather-shortened 28-28 tie with Cibolo Steele the next week.
- The loss signals a shift in local power and should increase attention on Cornerstone's national recruiting and upcoming matchups while Lake Travis continues to play at neutral sites during its $48.3 million stadium expansion.
