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.

PERENNIAL FAVORITES: Katy ISD should still be dominated by No. 4 Seven Lakes
4 -- SEVEN LAKES SPARTANS
The Spartans are coming off yet another impressive effort, having gone 36-3 in the past year and advancing to the Regional Semifinals following an undefeated District 19-6A championship.
Under the leadership of coach Shannon Heston (228-115 in his career), Seven Lakes will aim to uphold the standard of excellence audiences have come to expect.
While they say goodbye to A.J. Bates (LA Tech) and Nasir Price (transferred to Link Academy), there are still a handful of weapons remaining to accomplish their goals.
Isaiah Santos (So. SF) was named the 19-6A Newcomer of the Year for his notable contributions (16 ppg, 8 rpg), and second-team selection Tillman Jaramillo (Sr. G/F) is always a dependable option on the floor.
Junior forward Sean Mwesigwa also returns and should play a bigger role after dealing with injuries during the majority of last season.
The motto this year for SLHS will be “#FINISH”, according to Heston, as they prepare to leave no loose ends by the final buzzer.
