Those 22 plays were productive as QB Chaston Ditta hit 9 of 14 passes for 190 yards and 3 TDs, two of which were to WR Patrick Colby, who finished with 7 catches for 167 yards. Lake Travis will be looking to go 5-0 next week when the Cavs tackle unbeaten Bowie at Burger.
∙ Speaking of, Bowie will be looking to stay untarnished as the Dawgs host Converse Judson tonight.
∙ Pflugerville won for the fourth week in a row, slamming Navarro 73-0 in the District 11-5A DII opener last night. The Panthers will look for their fifth win next Friday taking on the Wildcats at Elgin.
∙ Johnson closes out non-district play tonight taking on former 6A district rival Dripping Springs. The Jaguars host San Marcos opening District 29-6A play next Friday.
∙ After starting last year 0-3, Round Rock has flipped the script starting 3-0 this fall. The Dragons look to stay on top of the District 25-6A standings tonight as they face McNeil.
∙ Georgetown is idle tonight and the Eagles will kick off District 8-5A DI play next Friday facing Leander at Bible Stadium.
∙ LBJ remains unbeaten after downing previously unbeaten Wimberley last week, but the Jaguars have a big task in front of them tonight as they take on private school powerhouse Dallas Parish Episcopal.
∙ Also unbeaten in 4A, Lampasas faces familiar foe Wimberley tonight.

Storms dump small hail throughout Austin area Saturday
AUSTIN (KXAN) — Small hail peppered the Austin area as strong thunderstorms moved through Saturday.
A few of the storms dropped rain and up to pea-sized hail in San Marcos, Dripping Springs and the Austin metro area.
A Severe Thunderstorm Warning was issued for Williamson County around 8:15 p.m., and then canceled shortly after. However, it was enough for the Two Step Inn music festival in Georgetown to cancel shows for the rest of the evening. Event organizers say the festival will run as planned Sunday.
KXAN’s First Warning Weather team is monitoring the storms. We will update this post as the evening continues.

Abbott unveils monument dedicated to Texas Revolutionary War soldiers
AUSTIN (KXAN) — Governor Greg Abbott and the Texas Society Sons of the American Revolution unveiled a new monument at the Texas State Cemetery on Saturday, dedicated to Texas Revolutionary War soldiers.
“We must educate every generation about why it is that America grew from a tenuous 13 colonies into the most powerful country in the history of the world,” said Governor Abbott. “This monument here is an enduring testament to the heroes who fought for the freedom that is unique to America.”
The monument was dedicated to 69 soldiers who fought in the American Revolutionary War and later settled in Texas, according to a press release.
Among those that were honored, Abbott recognized:
- José Santiago Seguín, grandfather of Texas Revolutionary hero Juan Seguín.
- Peter Sides, who fought in the 2nd Battalion of the North Carolina Regiment of the Colonial Army, and was later killed in the 1813 Battle of Medina, fighting for Mexican independence against Spain.
- Antonio Gil Y’Barbo, the founder of Nacogdoches.
- William Sparks, who fought as a mounted rifleman in the American Revolution and later settled in Texas. He had two sons and two grandsons who fought in the Texas Revolution.
“This year marks the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, which not only gave freedom to the British colonies of North America, but inspired movements for freedom and liberty all over the world,” said TSSAR President Mel Oller. “Texans played a role in the war too, and it’s important to recognize them, and the sacrifices they made for our freedom.”
At the monument unveiling, Abbott was also inducted into the Sons of the American Revolution and received its Silver Good Citizenship Medal.
