When Kingwood started the season, first-year coach Kristie Mewis told her team they were the best 3-12 team around and things would start clicking.
The turn around from that record started immediately and the Mustangs haven't slowed down.
On Friday, Kingwood rattled off its 15th-straight victory, moving to 18-12 overall and 14-0 in District 22-6A play, securing the district title and a 29th-straight trip to the playoffs.
"I'm so proud of the kids for winning a district title," Mewis said. "They put in the work and kept believing when our preseason was rough. I can't take credit for the previous 28 years. I wanted to make Krista Malmstrom and Ashley Earhart proud as they paved the way for Kingwood volleyball's success. I'm happy to carry on their tradition."
