Losing two regular season games against Kinkaid did not bode well for the Mavericks as they headed into the SPC finals against the Falcons. But a reevaluation of their defensive strategy turned the tide to a Maverick victory, 42-39, earning the senior class their third SPC title.

After consecutive SPC titles in 2011 and 2012 and a second-place finish last year, the seniors on the boys’ basketball team hope to finish their Maverick careers where they began: first in SPC.
