@Matt_Stepp817 We have some people who should never have a microphone.

Lake Travis beat Laredo United South to advance to R4 vs Round Rock Cedar Ridge. The Cavaliers only allowed 2 runs the whole series thanks to some nice defense as illustrated here by this handy videographic visual aid. Should be a good R4 series.
