Football Recruiting: 2016 Manvel S Deontay Anderson

Anderson and the Manvel Mavericks rolled into their Week 0 game against Spring Westfield as one of the top-ranked teams in the country with state championship aspirations. Yet, as the clock hit :00 on Friday night, they found themselves on the wrong side of an upset — 29-26.
