2024-25 Shadow Creek Basketball
"WE WILL": No. 2 Shadow Creek features an excess of star-power to see out a likely playoff run
2 -- SHADOW CREEK SHARKS
Shadow Creek (31-3) was one of the most dominant squads around in the 2023 regular season, as they would go on to make their seventh consecutive playoff appearance.
Although they were eliminated in the Area Round, at the hands of a formidable West Brook team, the fact that a significant portion of their stars are returning bodes well for the Sharks.
Eighth-year coach David President will lean on the veteran leadership – particularly from District MVP Michael Collins (Sr. PG / 21 ppg) – to elevate the entire roster, while placing an emphasis on staying healthy.
Aiden Law moves over from St. Francis Episcopal (TAPPS-4A State Champs) to further bolster SCHS, paired with Julian Cuillier (first-team, all-district), Adin Lewis (second-team), and senior guard Bryce Jackson (Houston-commit), who returns after two years of injury.
The motto in 2024 is “WE WILL”.
All things considered it appears that Shadow Creek will be even deadlier.

The stars of 2024-25 Atascocita Basketball
ON A MISSION: No. 3 Atascocita has the potential to reach State in 2025
3 -- ATASCOCITA EAGLES
The Atascocita Eagles are arguably the “big brand” of Class 6A boys’ basketball.
Built by coach David Martinez, the Eagles are once again the city’s top hoop troop.
Going 30-8 overall and 13-1 in district play a year ago, Atascocita returns Louisiana Tech-commit Jaylen Fenner and Adam Boyd, the floor general.
Jaylen is the heart and soul of this team,” Martinez said. “He can defend, rebound and score with anyone. Adam is the engine of our team and gets us in transition.”
Zayson Salanoa and Carson Countryman will play huge roles in 2024-25.
So, what’s the secret sauce to Atascocita’s program success?
“I think it’s that I have a genuine relationship with each player,” Martinez said. “They trust me, and I can coach them hard. I feel like I get the best out of them because of that. Also, we aren’t afraid to play some really tough defense.”
The Eagles will likely put another district title in the trophy case but have the talent to advance to the State Final Four.
