Following University Interscholastic League discipline to both the boys and girls basketball teams for violations, the district has re-assigned both Duncanville High basketball coaches.
The Duncanville boys basketball team had to forfeit all games from last season, including their 6A State Championship. It was determined the team played an ineligible player. The ineligible player, Anthony Black, now plays at the University of Arkansas.
In the summer of 2021 he transferred from Coppell to Duncanville.
The girls' basketball team was also suspended from this year's playoffs for violating recruiting rules and practice restrictions.
Duncanville boys coach David Peavy and girls coach LaJeanna Howard were both suspended for a year by the UIL.
Now the district has reassigned both to different schools in the district.
They also announced that athletic director Dwight Weaver has been reassigned to serve as a campus administrator.
In a statement the district's superintendent says, "This change in leadership is the first of a multi-step plan to strengthen our athletic programs and our national reputation as a powerhouse athletics organization."
Kenya Larkin-Landers has been named interim athletic director.
