Basketball, for some, is about talent alone. For others, it's process -- a careful assembly of skills, habits, and leadership over time.

At Seven Lakes, that process has been on full display in the 6-foot-5 junior, Isaiah Santos, a guard who has spent the past few seasons constructing a versatile skillset while helping elevate his team’s consistent presence.

MS. VERSATILITY: Lake Creek's Burns can shoot, defend, lead

The versatility of Lake Creek’s Bayley Burns jumps off the game film.

The junior can shoot the lights out from deep, lock down an opponent’s best player, and battle on the boards — a complete two-way threat who impacts every possession.
