EASTSIDE RELOADED: No. 7 North Shore Is Out to Prove Last Season Was Just the Beginning
No. 7 — North Shore Mustangs
Eastside is officially back! Coming off a stellar 31-7 showing that saw North Shore finish as the district runner-up before advancing to the Region III Final — where they narrowly fell to Atascocita, 68-60 — the standard has been set, and Stephen Woods' squad has no intention of lowering it.
Senior combo guard Da’Marcus Sloan headlines the returning cast, having averaged roughly 15 points, four rebounds, and two assists en route to first-team all-district honors. Fellow seniors Dillon Colbert and Sean Mayberry — both second-team selections — provide additional scoring punch, while first-team big man Sam Walker brings a commanding presence on the boards, defensive prowess, and a knack for throwing down dunks.
Guards Dereion Moore and Jorge Pacheco further bolster the rotation. With Woods placing a premium on cohesion, disciplined execution, and defensive tenacity, the Mustangs are determined to make last season's success a foundation rather than a finish line.
