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.

THE SPARTAN WAY: No. 3 Seven Lakes destined for greatness
The Seven Lakes Spartans are the kings of Katy ISD. This year will be no different as the Spartans are coming off a Regional Semi appearance in 2023.
The alpha is AJ Bates, who can score from anywhere on the court. He is committed to Louisiana Tech.
He’s not alone, however, as super-sophomore Nasir Price is one of the top guards in the country for the Class of 2026.
Don’t sleep on freshman Isaiah Santos, who may play a big role in the back-court as well. Seven Lakes was solid in the post with Josh Akpovwa who graduated, so coach Shannon Heston will need to find some serviceable rim protectors in 2024.
