WILD, WILD, WEST: No. 22 Magnolia West will lean on QB Dworaczyk
NO. 22 -- MAGNOLIA WEST MUSTANGS
Head Coach: Kristin Lemoine
2023: 17-19/Tied for 4th in District 21-5A
THE MUSTANGS WERE LEFT ON THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN AT THE PLAYOFFS IN 2023.
A play-in-game loss to Lake Creek ended their season at 17-19 overall. Now, the Mustangs make the move up to Class 6A, as they will play in District 15-6A. Magnolia West brings back plenty of firepower to get back into the playoff picture in 2024.
Sydnie Mullens led the team with 393 kills and chipped in 361 digs to go with it, leading to her being named first-team, all-district. The District 21-5A Setter of the Year Shannon Dworaczyk (Houston-commit) racked up 1,112 assists, which also set the Magnolia West single-season record.
Others to watch include second-team, all-district pick Lauren Brown (450 digs) and honorable-mention, all-district selection Hayden Stebbins (241 kills). Class 6A will be a new challenge for this group, but they have the pieces to compete.
