During the first round of district, the two programs battled in a close five sets with Manvel taking the crown. Looking for a solid rematch in the Maverick's packed gym, Friendswood fell short in three sets. Manvel finished district with a perfect 12-0 record after sweeping Santa Fe in three on Tuesday. With an overall 29-10 record, Manvel is expected to have a serious 5A playoff run in postseason. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Analyzing player performance during a district rival match is always fun.
