There are accounts in the DeKalb County Heralds and DeKalb County Pilots of the ladies playing basketball in the 1910s and 20s. According to a Wolverine Howl, volleyball at MHS dates back as far as 1932.

World War II ended and fuel restrictions were lifted. That meant the volleyball team (the only team at Maysville that did not play their seasons during the war) could resume play.

In a somewhat surprising move, officials of the Grand River Conference elected to drop volleyball altogether and not replace it with basketball in 1954. Some schools were hoping that they would switch to girls basketball because that was what other conferences in the area were moving to. Officials decided there would be no female conference sports. This decision was devastating for the ladies of MHS because Maysville did not offer any sport for them while other GRC schools played nonconference schedules. The main reason for dropping volleyball was the unpredictability of game lengths, which led to very long nights because the boys would play basketball afterwards. Game lengths were unpredictable because rally scoring was not the adopted way of scoring volleyball games. Teams could only score a point if they were the ones serving. In fact, high schools nation-wide did not adopt rally scoring until 2003. Either way, multiple generations of Lady Wolverines never were able to show their volleyball prowess.
