IT IS TIME TO “PUT IN THE WORK” AT MANVEL. THAT IS THE MAVERICKS MOTTO ENTERING THE 2025 SEASON, WHICH WILL BE THE 10TH UNDER HEAD COACH SUSAN KENNEDY.
Manvel went 30-14 a year ago and reached the Regional Semifinals before bowing out of the playoffs.
Four starters return for Kennedy, including Louisiana Tech-commit Kaycee Pennie (263 kills, 40 blocks) and University of Texas Rio
Grande Valley-commit Jasmyn Walker (34 blocks). First-team, all-district selection Nevaeh English (392 kills) is back along with second-team libero Emerson Chang (400 digs).
Another name to watch is second-team, all-district defensive specialist Sammy Guikema (308 digs). A new setter will have to step up for Manvel as the Mavericks say goodbye to Kenedy Massie (Prairie View A&M-signee).
Keys tosuccess for Kennedy’s team include having quality ball control, the four-year letter winners being great leaders and staying healthy.
