San Marcos will play its first District 26-6A opponent in week four of the 2021 season, hosting Lake Travis.
The Cavaliers went undefeated in district play a year ago, going 5-0, including a 58-3 home win over the Rattlers on Oct. 9. But they shut down their regular season early due to COVID-19 concerns within the program, missing out on their game with Austin Westlake. The Chaparrals went on to claim the district title after going 6-0. Lake Travis was then knocked out in the first round of the playoffs, losing 35-21 to Round Rock, and finishing the season 6-1 overall.
The team lost 48 from last season’s roster and now return 25 lettermen, including 13 starters — five on offense and eight on defense — with an eye on making a deeper run in the state tournament.
