Shadow Creek has quickly become one of Texas' top programs, playing in two consecutive state championship games. The Sharks return a lot of talent from last year's 16-0 team, especially on offense. They will now open the 2020 campaign against the two-time defending 6A Division 1 state champs North Shore after the game against Philadelphia power St. Joseph's Prep was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
