UIL deflates Duncanville basketball teams handing out multiple suspensions and stripping a state title yesterday. Both Duncanville ISD programs received discipline for rules violations centered around recruiting.
The Duncanville boys basketball team will forfeit all games from the 2021-2022 season in which the team played an ineligible player. The ineligible player is said to be Anthony Black, who plays at the University of Arkansas.
The penalty forfeits include all postseason games and the 2022 Conference 6A State Championship. This makes McKinney High School the new state champs.
UIL Deflates Duncanville Basketball For Girls Too
The girls’ basketball team will also be suspended from this year’s playoffs. This sanction comes for violating recruiting rules and practice restrictions.
According to the UIL, Coach LeJeanna Howard advertised she was having an open gym tryout in August. This was a full two months before practices are allowed to start.
Howard denied it was a try-out for the team, calling it just an open gym.
Duncanville is considered a local powerhouse for hoops and the Duncanville Field House conducts a great deal of off season preparation.
