Manvel ousted in playoffs
The Manvel Lady Mavericks dropped a 25-10, 25-20, 25-18 decision to Foster in the Class 4A Region III bi-district round on Tuesday at Wheeler Field House in Sugar Land.
“We came out and I thought they played their hearts out,” Manvel head coach Raheanna Stahl Arnold said. “I couldn’t have asked them to do much more. They came out and had a David and Goliath match and they did the best they could.”
Foster (20-9) showed its strength with junior Taylor Whileyman from the outside along with sophomore Erin Fairs in the middle. Both came up with some big shots in the first game that set the tone right away.
Manvel (18-17) just couldn’t get anything going against the more powerful Lady Falcons.
“We knew we were going to have to serve tough and hoped we could force some passing errors on them,” Stahl said. “We wanted to keep their offense off balance, and we did that at times but it wasn’t enough.”
