With a current record of 17-1, the Mavericks displayed their strength by defeating Dorman 61-41 in the second round of the Class AAAAA playoffs.

Rising Stars and Collective Effort

With rising stars like Imani McIver and Jazaria Jones stepping up alongside Leamon and Soltys, Mauldin has showcased the depth of their roster. The team’s chemistry and resilience have been instrumental in their 10-game winning streak and impressive playoff run.
