MUSTANG STORYLINES* After leading North Shore to a state title last February, both Foster and Roach saw their stock rise on the summer circuit. Roach, a 247Sports Top 100 prospect, averaged a team-best 16.1 points and 5.3 rebounds per game while Foster contributed 12.7 and 5.5.
* The Mustangs have a veteran presence on the bench in Green, who has been a head coach for 30 years and won over 500 games. He was hired prior to the 2011-12 season after stops at four other Lone Star State high schools.
* North Shore is the rare preseason nationally ranked team that won't play a school from outside of its own state this season. With so much talent in Texas, the schedule won't be soft, but it makes winning a state title imperative in terms of being in the national Top 25 in April.
