Sahvir Wheeler was forced to watch his Houston Christian Mustangs close out the regular season from the sidelines as a senior in 2019. Starting the year averaging 19 points, nine assists and seven rebounds per contest, he suffered an untimely torn meniscus, putting the remainder of his final high school season in jeopardy.
Slowly but surely, he inched his way back to the floor, returning just in time for the Southwest Preparatory State Playoffs with a chance to secure a title — his second in as many years. Flirting with triple-double averages of 18 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds per contest, he was the straw that stirred the drink for the Mustangs through the final game, securing a 69-64 rematch win over Episcopal to earn the SPC State Championship.
