Volleyball's Back: 2020 All-VYPE Austin Preseason Public School Volleyball Team

District 25-6A – previously known as 13-6A – has essentially been a two-team race between Vandegrift and Round Rock for the past seven seasons. We may know whether it’s time to toss McNeil into the mix when the McNeil Mavericks challenge the Round Rock Dragons Friday night (9/19) in the VYPE Central Texas Game of the Week from Dragon Stadium.

Longtime former Vandegrift defensive coordinator Scott Hermes has completely resurrected the McNeil program. Building slowly, the Mavericks (1-0, 2-1) have reached the playoffs each of the last two seasons. Senior quarterback Jadon Sultz (56-86, 803 Yds, 7 TD, 4 INT) and a fleet of running backs – Jarrell Gary, Jr., Aden Taylor and Zylen Hall – power a veteran offense that’s averaging 44 points and 490 yards per game. (McNeil posted a 70-spot vs. Westwood last week.)
