The Cavaliers (15-3 overall, 1-0 District 15-5A) held explosive Anderson guard Kevin Fisher (15.9 PPG) scoreless and went on to rout the Trojans 72-33 Dec. 20 at Lake Travis High School.
Anderson (8-8, 0-1) scored less than 10 points in each quarter as Lake Travis, led by Will Swenson’s 17 points, put on a shooting clinic.
The Cavaliers jumped out to a 17-2 lead in the first quarter and led 43-16 at halftime. Lake Travis, the defending District 15-5A champions, extended its lead to 41 points going into the fourth quarter.
Ja Lon Spence was the only Trojan to score in double digits, scoring 12, while Foster Allen added eight.
Fisher shot 0-for-5 from the floor.
Swenson had a lot of help as four Cavaliers scored in double digits. Tate Searle added 16 points, Jake Budde had 10 and Sean Wimbush put in 11.
Lake Travis’ 39-point win Friday in the district opener was the largest of any game involving a 15-5A team. Bowie defeated McCallum by 22 points in a non-district game.
The Cavaliers will play in the Kerrville Tivy Tournament beginning on Dec. 27 and will travel to Westlake on Dec. 31 for a District 15-5A battle scheduled for 6 p.m.
