Led by head coach Dr. Collea McKinney—who took over in 2023 following Chrissy Woodward’s tenure—Cy Ranch has continued to assert itself as one of Texas’ perennial powerhouses.
They recently rolled through the Cy-Fair ISD/Katy ISD Tournament with an unblemished 8-0 run, claiming the championship for a second straight year. That title-clinching effort was capped off with a thrilling reverse sweep, showcasing both grit and poise.
Currently ranked No. 6 in the state by MaxPreps and No. 4 in Texas Volleyball Insiders’ Class 6A poll, the Mustangs’ depth and experience have been instrumental in their early-season success.

Senior Madyson Carr led the way in the tournament, earning MVP honors, while fellow seniors Kennedy White (All-Tournament Blocker), Rice-commit Zora Bello (All-Tournament Setter), and Kinsley Hooper (All-Tournament Libero) provided key contributions on both ends of the court.
Other notable standouts, thus far, include Memphis-commit Kaylee Parker (Sr. OH), Southwestern-bound Caroline Srubar (Sr. S), Saniya Reynolds (Jr. MB), and sophomore outside hitter Sade Bello—Zora’s younger sister—who continues to shine in her second varsity season.
The road ahead features several key matchups, including a marquee non-district contest against Tompkins this Friday. The Mustangs are also set to compete in the Leader ISD Volleypalooza and Clear Creek ISD Tournaments, where they’ll look to keep up the pace against a high level of competition.
Ultimately, Cypress Ranch will have its eyes on securing the outright District 16-6A title—after splitting it with Bridgeland last season—and making a more extensive postseason run following last year’s early playoff exit in the Area Round to The Woodlands.
If how they have performed up to this point is any indication, this could be the year that CRHS breaks through the barrier.
