Cavaliers Cancel Season Opener After Tragedy | Austin News

Lake Travis Cavaliers’ season opener against Dripping Springs has been canceled following the tragic death of senior lineman Odin Hensley, who passed away after a cardiac arrest during practice. Coach Hank Carter made the heart-wrenching decision to prioritize player and staff well-being, as the team had already paused practices for two weeks in mourning. Though the game is off, controlled scrimmages may still happen next week. The community rallies around the Hensley family, with a memorial service set for Saturday at Austin Ridge Bible Church. The Cavaliers now turn their focus to honoring Odin and preparing for their new opener against Weiss on September fourth.
