2025-26 Seven Lakes Basketball
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.

BEYOND THE SCOREBOARD, THOUGH, THE SPORT CONTINUES TO BE DEFINED BY THE PERSONALITIES DRIVING IT FORWARD — ATHLETES WHO REPRESENT NOT JUST THEMSELVES, BUT THE COMMUNITIES THAT SHAPED THEM.
