Marvin Ridge has six straight days of fall conference competition starting Tuesday, Oct. 6, with volleyball, men's soccer and football all chasing postseason positioning.
The Marvin Ridge Athletics department announced the schedule on X on Monday, Oct. 5, describing the stretch as featuring championships, Senior Night, conference battles and rivalry matchups across six days of Maverick athletics.
The headliner may be volleyball. The Mavericks enter at 22-3 overall and 10-0 in Southern Carolina Conference (SCC) play, sitting alone atop the standings on a four-match win streak, according to MaxPreps. Two home conference matches are on tap: Charlotte Catholic on Tuesday, Oct. 6, at 6:15 p.m. and Sun Valley on Thursday, Oct. 8, at 6:30 p.m.
A perfect conference record is at stake.
Men's soccer enters a crosstown conference matchup ranked No. 6 in North Carolina and No. 14 nationally on MaxPreps. The Mavericks are 12-2 overall and 6-1 in the SCC, having outscored opponents 45-10 across 14 games. Their lone conference loss came 1-0 at Charlotte Catholic on Sept. 30. The next test is a trip to Cuthbertson on Wednesday, Oct. 7, at 7 p.m.
Football regroups after the Mavericks' first loss of the season. Marvin Ridge fell to Weddington 42-3 on Friday, Oct. 2, in a Week 7 SCC showdown, as SI.com reported. The Mavericks had entered the game 5-0 and ranked No. 30 in the state by NCFootballNews.com, which called it "a battle of unbeatens."
The loss dropped Marvin Ridge to 5-1 overall and 1-1 in conference play, third in the SCC standings per MaxPreps. The Mavericks travel to Porter Ridge on Friday, Oct. 9, at 7 p.m. for another conference game.
Marvin Ridge won eight NCHSAA state championships during the 2025-26 school year. Cross country, led by new head coach Carberry who was hired in July, is also competing, and fans can follow the @mavathletics account on X for the full schedule.
