Three weeks before the high school football season kicks off, an administrative assistant at Lake Travis High School is juggling phone calls while season ticket holders wait to learn their seat assignments.

Lake Travis played its 2017 season opener in front of an audience that included those watching on Fox Sports Southwest, the first time that the University Interscholastic League (or UIL) allowed live broadcasts of Friday night games.

The Cavaliers are a powerhouse. They won their sixth state title in 2016. In 2011 they became the first team in the history of Texas high school football to win five consecutive state championships.

Five of their state six championships have come under two coaches: Chad Morris, now at SMU, and his successor, Hank Carter, who’s entering his 10th season at the school, which is about 20 miles northwest of Austin.

Damn, didn't know there were so many making six figures these days. Guess I shouldn't be surprised though.

I don't know if the law has changed, but at one time it required that high school coaches cannot make more the superintendent. It was usually just one dollar less to comply. So if this is still the law, there a lot of happy administrators at successful Texas schools.
