ARLINGTON, Texas -- Austin Lake Travis joined elite company by winning its fourth straight Class 4A state title with a 27-7 win over Denton Ryan on Saturday at Cowboys Stadium.

Lake Travis (14-2) becomes just the third team in Texas state history to win four straight titles and the first to do it at the 4A level, joining Sealy (1994-97) and Celina (1998-2001).

The Cavaliers have had three head coaches over that span. Jeff Dicus led Lake Travis to its first state title in 2007. Chad Morris did the same in 2008 and 2009.

This year, it was Hank Carter who guided Lake Travis to the crown after an injury-plagued season that began with Aledo snapping the Cavaliers' 48-game winning streak.

"It's an unbelievable feeling," Carter said. "When you get a little older and get away from it, you realize how special it is because it's so hard to do. Three head coaches and four state championships -- I guarantee you that's never been done."

Quarterback Michael Brewer, the game's offensive MVP, won his second straight title by going 14-for-22 for 211 yards. He added 88 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns that gave Lake Travis a 17-0 halftime lead over Ryan.

Ryan (15-1) had a chance to cut Lake Travis' lead to one score early in the second half, but a 41-yard field goal attempt sailed left, leaving the Cavaliers with a 17-7 lead. Lake Travis answered with its own field goal and put the game away in the fourth quarter with a 1-yard touchdown run by Colin Lagasse.

"It's been a struggle this season," Brewer said. "To be where we are today and actually come out and get the job done, it says a lot about our team. They know how to fight. We've been here before and we know how to win it."
