He took gold in the long jump, 100 meter and the 4x400 meter relay. Unbelievable.
Few teams were as staggering — or as balanced — as Parish Episcopal this fall. The Panthers’ 12–1 campaign crescendoed in the postseason, culminating in a 14–7 win over Prestonwood Christian that restored their place atop TAPPS-DI.
The victory not only secured another championship, but marked the program’s sixth title in the last seven years — a feat that underscores the dynasty Parish has quietly, yet emphatically, built.
Head coach Daniel Novakov reflects on the team’s pathway back to the crown, its significance, and more.

BUILT DIFFERENT: All systems go for No. 1 Atascocita, chasing a fourth UIL Final Four appearance

The stars of 2025-26 Atascocita Basketball

No. 1 -- ATASCOCITA EAGLES
Few teams can match the sheer aura that Atascocita wields through each passing year.
Highlighted by an undefeated District 23-6A championship — marking back-to-back titles— the Eagles capped off their 28-5 campaign last winter with an appearance in the 6A-D1 Regional Semifinals. Though their ambitions of a State run were halted by Seven Lakes in a 53-48 thriller, all signs point toward an emphatic response from coach David Martinez and company in 2026.
Gone is 23-6A MVP Jaylen Fenner, now at Louisiana Tech, but don’t let that fool you — Atascocita is still stacked.
Senior combo guard Adam Boyd (LA Tech-signee) headlines the returners, bringing veteran poise and versatility after earning first-team, all-district honors. He’ll be joined in the backcourt by Jachai Cantave, a New Mexico State-signee who transferred back from SoCal Academy over the offseason. The three-star point guard’s return adds another layer of explosiveness to an already potent lineup.
Senior wing Zayson Salanoa (6-foot-7) -- yet another Eagle to announce his commitment LA Tech -- provides valuable length and scoring touch after a second-team, all-district showing, while fellow senior Cameron Ned and rising junior Royce Shelton round out a deep, battle-tested rotation.
If all goes according to plan, the Eagles’ trademark blend of finesse, athleticism, and experience could guide them back to the State Tournament for the first time since 2022 — and the fourth time in program history.

DREAM TEAM: No. 2 Seven Lakes blends star-studded rotation with a drive to finally reach State

No. 2 -- SEVEN LAKES SPARTANS
Despite narrowly missing out on a fourth consecutive district title last season, Seven Lakes still proved its championship caliber when it mattered most. The Spartans powered through the postseason to reach the 6A-D1 Region III Final before ultimately bowing out to Bellaire.
Now, with a wealth of returning talent, head coach Shannon Heston’s squad appears well-equipped to build on its 33-6 campaign and make another extensive run.
It all begins with 6-foot-5 junior phenom Isaiah Santos, the heartbeat of this unit and one of Texas’ most electric young stars. Coming off a season in which he averaged 21 points, 10 rebounds, and three steals per game, Santos earned District 19-6A Offensive Player of the Year and TABC All-State honors. A four-star national prospect, his Division I offers are already stacking up — and rightfully so.
Joining him is fellow four-star Nasir Price, a senior guard and recent UTSA-commit who returns to the Spartans after a stint at Link Academy in Missouri. His experience and familiarity with the program could be the spark that finally propels Seven Lakes to its first-ever State appearance.
The Spartans’ supporting cast is hardly an afterthought, either, with Dean Spencer (the 19-6A Co-Newcomer of the Year), Jose Martins, and Sean Mwesigwa (second-team, all-district) rounding out a battle-tested rotation ready to challenge for regional supremacy once again.
