The stars of 2025-26 Atascocita Basketball
BUILT DIFFERENT: All systems go for No. 1 Atascocita, chasing a fourth UIL Final Four appearance
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.
