(Austin, Texas)-With the 2022-23 basketball tipping off, the University Interscholastic League sent Texas High Schools a strong message when ineligible players are used in games.
Today, the UIL state executive committee stripped the Duncanville’s boys basketball team of its 2022 State 6A title, after the Panthers played with an ineligible player in the 2021-22 season — including all postseason games and the 6A state championship game, which Duncanville (35-1) won against McKinney High School (35-5) in March at the Alamodome in San Antonio. The Duncanville player, Anthony Black (6’7 190lbs) was ruled ineligible. He now plays at the University of Arkansas.
Duncanville had won three straight titles and now, Duncanville head coach David Peavy will have to sit out the 2022-23 season as he was slapped with a one-year suspension. The program was issued a three-year probation period and a public reprimand.
Recently, the San Marcos HS football coach John Walsh was suspended for five games for recruiting violations and all eleven incoming freshen were ruled ineligible to play varsity sports for three years. (HSSMImages/Ruiz)
