Duncanvile ISD Superintendent Dr. Marc Smith announced on Friday that the boys basketball team will opt out of postseason play for the 2022-2023 season, amid issues with the UIL.
High School is the No. 1 ranked basketball team in the state, but they will not be playing in this year's playoffs.
"We believe the UIL has a better understanding of our situation and will not impose any additional penalties if we opt-out of post-season play this school year," said Dr. Smith in a statement Friday. "Duncanville ISD respects the UIL, we are a proud member of the organization, and all of us want to expedite decisions that prove our commitment to winning with honor by following UIL rules.
The self-imposed ban comes just days before the UIL is set to meet and discuss if Duncanville should face harsher sanctions. Earlier this week, Duncanville announced it would be reassigning both the boys head coach David Peavy and the head girls basketball coach LaJenna Howard to other jobs within the district."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," said Dr. Smith on Thursday.
