FINISH THE JOB: O'Connor looking for another State run with new den of Panthers
After an outstanding 41-6 campaign and a trip to the Class 6A Division I State Semifinals, O'Connor enters the 2026 season with one goal in mind—finishing the job.
Head coach Megan Liverett has built one of the state's premier programs, and the Panthers are once again loaded with talent. Keep an eye on emerging standouts Roxanne Scharmen, Kailani Aguigui, Khloe Espino, Clarissa Alvizo and Gabby Maldonado, all of whom are poised to make significant impacts this fall.
The defining characteristic of this year's squad is simple: relentlessness. O'Connor expects to compete with anyone on its schedule and has embraced a mindset of refusing to back down, regardless of the opponent.
"The fire of our 2025 O'Connor Volleyball team didn't fade; it became our foundation. For 2026, we aren't just picking up where we left off—we're turning last year's finish line into our starting block, relentless in our pursuit and hungry for more." — Head Coach Megan Liverett
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.
