Team Summary
Coach Mike Rogers and his Lake Travis Cavaliers come into the 2021 season with their eyes on another trip to the 6A State Tournament like they did in 2019. The Cavaliers will have a group of high quality arms on the mound with talented defenders behind them in the field. Coach Rogers will have at least 5 new starters in his lineup but has confidence they can step up and produce. The Pitching Staff is led by Future Games Alumni and Super 60 Invitee 2021 RHP Alec Grossman (Texas Signee), 2021 RHP Ethan Roark (TCU Signee), 2022 RHP Luke Jackson (Louisiana Lafayette Commit), and Future Games Alumni, 2022 RHP Pierce George (Texas Commit). In the Lineup, Coach Rogers Returns 3 year starting C 2021 John Riden (Wofford Signee), 2022 SS Kaden Kent who moves to SS after starting 2 years at 3B, and 2023 OF OJ Gonzalez who started last year as a Freshman and was 2nd on the team in RBI's. Even with a group of new starters entering the lineup in 2021, Coach Rogers believes his talented pitching staff and the ability to defend behind them will carry them to a District 26-6A Title and a deep playoff run.
