HUMBLE - North Shore looked dominant from the, even though it was delayed by an hour, get-go.
Dematrius Davis sliced up the Atascocita defense with his legs and arm, Shadrach Banks showed just how strong he is time and time again and the defense played with intensity.
In a blink it was 28-0.
"That was the plan all week," Davis said. "Coaches told us we had to punch first, [Atascocita] is a great offensive team and we knew we had to punch first at them. We just got the job done."
In a flash the game was over - North Shore winning 63-14, finishing the regular season 10-0 and clinching the District 21-6A Championship.
<p>"The ability to sit in the locker room and get off their routine and still come out and execute, if there's anything we've been this year, it's been mature," North Shore head coach Jon Kay said. "You can argue about if we've been good or bad at times but they've been mature consistently." </p><p>Next week the Mustangs have off before heading into the 2020 playoffs with aspirations of capturing the program's third-straight state title in January.</p><p><br></p><div class="rm-embed embed-media"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">VYPE 🏈 Highlights 🎥: <a href="https://twitter.com/NSNationFB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@NSNationFB</a> took care of business on Friday afternoon | Defeated Atascocita 63-14 | Improve to 10-0 | Dist. 21-6A Champs | Playoffs Next <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/txhsfb?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#txhsfb</a> <br><br>(<a href="https://twitter.com/Dematrius09?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Dematrius09</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/ShadrachBanks?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ShadrachBanks</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/TavonGriffin2?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@TavonGriffin2</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/DenvoBandz?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@DenvoBandz</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/NSSH_Mustangs?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@NSSH_Mustangs</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Elisa2002?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Elisa2002</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/KPRC2RandyMc?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@KPRC2RandyMc</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/SimoneEli_TV?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@SimoneEli_TV</a>) <a href="https://t.co/o4FE2otT62">pic.twitter.com/o4FE2otT62</a><br>— vypehouston (@vypehouston) <a href="https://twitter.com/vypehouston/status/1332487643410685952?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 28, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async="" charset="utf-8" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script></div><p>Here are my 5 Big Takeaways from Friday's regular season finale. <br></p><p><ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block" data-ad-client="ca-pub-9787720712654893" data-ad-slot="8738871937" data-ad-format="auto" data-full-width-responsive="true"></ins>

A lot of the talk is always about Denver Harris. And rightfully so, he is legit and had a pretty spectacular interception during this game where he extended high for the pick. Another big play came from Ta'von Griffin, who had multiple pass breakups but also a pick six. Towards the end of the first quarter, Griffin picked off Atascocita quarterback Zion Brown and took it back 25 yards for the score. It capped a 28-point first quarter for the Mustangs. </p><p>"It was cool, I just kept my head down and ran it in, just kept pushing. Just trust my keys out there," Griffin said. "Overall I think we did good as a defense but I think we can do better as a whole. We work for it." </p>Strong Shadrach

The Mustangs now have a healthy Banks and that is a big deal. The Texas A&M-commit in one play on Friday afternoon had three would-be tacklers covering him up and somehow he was able to keep his legs moving to eventually breakthrough and get down to the three. He then powered the ball in a few plays later for the score. North Shore is utilizing Banks out of the backfield as a running back at times during the game and that is a problem for defensive units. </p><p>"We've got a lot of weapons all over the field," Davis said. "Our OC does a great job getting the ball in everybody's hands. Shadrach he can also carry the ball, so we put him back there a few times." </p>Dynamic Davis

In this showdown with Atascocita from the very beginning it was apparent that North Shore was going to lean on the running prowess of Dematrius Davis. Last year we saw this on display and have seen it in flashes this year as well. Davis' running game was a big factor in Friday's win. He had three rushing touchdowns, including one from 51 yards out. Davis also had a pair of passing scores as well in the win. On Davis' three touchdown runs alone, he busted off 83 yards of offense. You add in the game-opening run, Davis easily exceeded 100 yards rushing on the ground for the day. </p>The Program - North Shore

We've all come to expect North Shore to be really, really good. But let's take a look at the numbers. Wrapping up the District 21-6A Championship on Friday marked the third-straight district crown. It is also the second time in the last three years North Shore has completed the regular season a perfect 10-0. </p><p>"We've got to get better," Kay said. "That's been the mantra all the way through. We've done that whether we've had losses during the season or whether it was 2018 and we were undefeated. Right now it's just a reason to continue to get better and our kids understand that." </p><p>The last time they did that the Mustangs went on to finish the year 16-0 and Class 6A Division I State Champions. In the regular season the last three years, North Shore is an impressive 29-1 with that lone loss coming in non-district play to open the 2019 season. This also marks the fifth time in the last six years that North Shore will finish with 10 or more wins. </p>What's Next ... Playoffs!

Legacy Titans have best talent in H-Town.
The Legacy Titans are led by coach PJ Couisnard, who starred at Wichita State during his college days. He now coaches what could be considered the best collection of Houston-area talent at the north Houston charter school.
<p>Former Nimitz star Ashton Smith will anchor the middle and protect the rim at 6-foot-8. He recently signed to Texas A&M. St. Thomas-transfer Johnathan Massie is a big 6-foot-5 guard trying to get on the recruiting radar. Guard PJ Neal is a Prairie View A&M-signee who moved over from the Heights. Forward Brian Myles (PVAMU) came over from Shreveport to Madison High School in Houston to Legacy and will help in the middle. </p><p>Aaron Scott is another nice small forward from Klein Oak on the travel team along with Lamar High School move-in Sir Issac Herron – a 6-foot-9 shot-blocking machine. </p><p>They might be the best team you will never see as they are putting together a schedule that will take them out of the area. </p><p>To purchase VYPE's 2020-21 BASKETBALL PREVIEW, <a href="https://www.shopvype.com/collections/vype-magazine/products/2020-vype-houston-magazine-vype-basketball-preview-volume-13-number-3" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a>. </p>

Can Rosehill Christian get back to finals?
The Rosehill Christian School Eagles made school history last season reaching the state finals before falling to Dallas Yavneh.
Gone are Jacob Anderson and Caleb Ceasar to graduation, but coach Taylor Marlar has a trio of stars in point guard Avery Botkin-Henderson, shooting guard Pierce Shipp and post Justin Whitmire – all second-teamers.
