HOUSTON, TEXAS (October 3, 2025) On Friday night, North Shore hosted Kingwood and dealt a heavy blow: the Mustangs won 71–7 in what turned into a lopsided district contest. 

North Shore started fast. In the first quarter, they scored two long passing touchdowns, including a 61-yard strike to Jaylen Bocard (No. 5 shown above right), to take an early lead. They added another touchdown and extra point before the period ended. 

In the second quarter, North Shore kept piling it on. Aubery Johnson hauled in a 43-yard pass for six points. They also got a pick-6 interception return.  Two-point conversions helped them stretch the lead even more. At halftime, North Shore led 35–0.

After the break, North Shore’s offense did not slow down. In the third quarter, they hit Kingwood with another big passing touchdown, followed by a ground score, plus a successful two-point pass. That gave them a comfortable margin going into the final quarter. 

In the fourth quarter, more points came. One highlight was a special teams play: a snap went over the punter's head, and North Shore turned that into a score. They added a 31-yard rushing touchdown, and capped it with a 35-yard rushing score by Isai Navarro.  Kingwood did avoid a shutout late, when Xzavier Montes ran in a touchdown.

This win brings North Shore’s record to 4–1 overall and 2–0 in district play. Kingwood falls to 3–2 and 1–1 in district with the loss.

Kingwood, Cy Springs Score Upset Wins at Campbell Center

By Robert H. Kelly

Two Houston area basketball teams upset national ranked foes in opening games of the Houston versus the Nation tournament at the Campbell Center.

The Kingwood Mustangs defeated De La Salle (Minnesota) 41-30 on Thursday while Cy Springs Panthers knocked off Montverde Academy (Florida) 65-59 on Frdiay afternoon. De La Salle was ranked number 2 in the nation by ESPN prior to the game.

Kingwood, which started slow in the first half, poured it on in the 4th quarter with a 10-1 run to clinch the win.

"We knew they were a mirror image of how we play," said Royce Huseman, Kingwood head coach. "They're a very strong team defensively, but we were able to change some things and pull away from them."

Cy Springs fresh off winning the Houston ISD Jaycees/Reebok Tournament last weekend, pressed the Eagles from start to finish and relied on scoring from wings Phillip McDonald and Erik Williams to get the job done.

The tournament continues on Friday with final games on Saturday
