High school football rankings: Lake Travis, Vandegrift at top of 6A in Austin area

The first full week of the Central Texas high school football season didn’t lack any drama. Westlake defeated Inglewood, Calif., on a late touchdown and Weiss used two fourth-quarter scores to beat Round Rock 42-28 in a matchup of two teams in the American-Statesman’s preseason top 10. 

In perhaps the most riveting finish, and a game that ended after midnight due to weather delays, Vandegrift rallied from a 21-10 deficit with less than six minutes to play in the fourth quarter and eventually beat San Antonio Brennan 28-21 in overtime. 

Though lightning cancelled several contests Thursday and Friday, most teams got their games in.
