For coach Chris Wilson and the Manvel Mavs, the UIL realignment was a blessing. The Mavs move out of the District of Death with Shadow Creek, Hightower, Foster and Fort Bend Marshall, and into the new District 22-5A. A pair of first-teamers return in Mason McBride and big-man Shaun Walker, Jr. Walker is signed to McNeese State and can fill a stat sheet and own the paint. Running the point is Zaire Hayes and he is flanked by Christopher Morris and Azari Woods. The 6-foot-3 guard can shoot the three, hammer it home with dunks and has a mid-range game to loosen the defense.
