The Garland High School boys’ basketball season ended Saturday, March 5, in a 2 p.m. game at Ellis Davis Fieldhouse in Dallas. Duncanville High School got the win over GHS by a final score of 61-38 in the Region II Finals.
BUT WHAT A GREAT GAME IT WAS FOR THE OWLS!
Garland High School (26-2) had a perfect district record. Kansas University signee Zuby Ejiofor averaged over 20 points per game and provided lots of excitement to GHS fans. The 6’ 8” four-star recruit averaged almost 30 points per game during the playoffs.
Duncanville High School has won the state title two times, in 2019 and 2021. This is their fourth straight trip to the state championship game.
The Owls’ head basketball coach, Randy Love, played football at Garland High School then graduated from the University of Houston in 1979. He then played in the NFL for the St. Louis Cardinals until 1985.
The coach told the Dallas Morning News that it was amazing to win 22 games in a row and to have his team play in the regional finals game.
