A new era at Lake Travis
THE 6-ROTATION: A New Era at Lake Travis
A new era begins at Lake Travis as Rachel Anglin takes over the Cavaliers' volleyball program following a 34-12 season in 2025.
While there's a new leader on the sidelines, the expectations remain the same for one of Central Texas' premier programs.
Leading the way for the Cavaliers are returning standouts Maggie Wheeler, Gentry Barker, Xyanna Stephens and Kayla Reece, who will provide the experience and leadership needed to keep Lake Travis among the state's elite.
One player to watch is Hannah Sawtelle, who has the potential to emerge as one of the team's breakout performers this season.
The Cavaliers' mantra for 2026 is "Outwork. Outplay. Outlast."
According to Anglin, the keys to success this season will be building strong court connections, maintaining discipline and persevering through every challenge.
"We are so excited for this year," Anglin said. "This team is driven and ready to compete every time they step on the court. The standard remains high, and these girls are ready to go beyond every expectation set for them. Go Cavs!"
With a talented returning core, a new voice leading the program and a championship mindset, Lake Travis has all the ingredients to make another deep postseason run in 2026.
Wimberley flexing for another deep run in 2026
THE 6-ROTATION: Super Power Wimberley looking for No. 8
The Wimberley Texans are coming off another outstanding season after finishing 46-6 and once again proving they are among the premier programs in the state.
Coach Misty Fletcher-Remmers returns a talented core led by Trinity Laney, Ellen Watson and Skylar Mears, giving the Texans plenty of experience as they chase another deep playoff run.
Keep an eye on Kara Thames, Victoria Jones and Drew Thames, who could emerge as breakout performers and make a significant impact throughout the 2026 season.
According to Fletcher-Remmers, defense will be the biggest key to the Texans' success.
"We've excelled offensively in the past, and now we want to add another layer to our game," Fletcher-Remmers said. "We are also asking some new players to step up, so embracing the changes and being confident in our training and abilities will be important."
"This group knows how to work hard, and they really care about each other," she added. "Both of those things will ensure this is an interesting season."
With a proven winning culture, experienced leaders and a renewed emphasis on defense, Wimberley has all the pieces to remain one of the state's top contenders in 2026.
