FOURTH QUARTER
-- Chaston Ditta hits Isaiah Thomas (no, not that one. Nor that one.) for a Lake Travis score to pull within a TD in the final minute. (21-14, Westlake | 0:27)
-- Junior linebacker Elliott Schaper's late interception should seal it for Westlake.
THIRD QUARTER
-- Touchdown, Lake Travis! The Westlake defense finally bends, as Chaston Ditta hits Kadyn Leon for a 49-yard touchdown pass. Leon made a play to secure the catch over a defender. (14-7, Westlake | 9:23)
-- Westlake again. Jack Kayser caps a quick Chaparrals drive with a 12-yard TD run. (14-0, Westlake)
SECOND QUARTER
-- Rees Wise hits Cal Livengood for a 15-yard TD pass for the game's first points in the final seconds of the first half. Clairvoyance runs through those who predicted another low-scoring defensive battle. (7-0, Westlake | 0:06)
-- Defensive slugfest. Lake Travis forces a miss with a tip on a Westlake 34-yard field goal attempt, then Westlake's Cullen Devin comes up with a big sack to force a Lake Travis punt midway through the second quarter.
FIRST QUARTER
-- Keiondre Lewis reels in an interception to force an early Westlake turnover.
