Manvel entered the season as the No. 4 team in VYPE's Class 5A Preseason rankings.
In the playoffs, Manvel defeated Port Neches-Groves, Fort Bend Hightower, Barbers Hill, Pflugerville Hendrickson and College Station to advance to the program's first-ever UIL State Volleyball Tournament under head coach Susan Kennedy.
The good thing for Kennedy is as she looks at her roster going into 2022, Manvel is set to return Angeles, Jordan, Massie, Lewis and Fairbanks, meaning this Mavericks team could be set-up for another state run come next year with a loaded roster.
