“What made this team so special was the fact that we were all bought into the goal,” Lowe said. “The chemistry finally kicked in for us, and the brotherhood was too strong for us not to reach that point. The defeats we experienced in the past, specifically when we lost in the Regional Final last year, really fueled us this time around. We just locked in and did what we needed to do.”
Though the Buffaloes ultimately fell short in the title game, losing 54-47 to Mansfield Summit, Lowe delivered a standout performance.

He led all scorers with 28 points and earned a spot on the State All-Tournament team.
As the stakes rose, so did his leadership.
“As a leader on this team, I knew it would potentially fall upon me to set the example,” Lowe said. “Even though we have a lot of talented guys on this roster, it was up to me to create ‘Big Mo: Big Momentum’ and make sure the energy was still up for us.
“Even if we weren’t playing up to the standard that we set for ourselves, I knew that I couldn’t fall. I had to keep the bar high so that we had the best chance of rallying against them.”
Lowe’s journey at Marshall began after transferring from The Kinkaid School, a private school competing in the SPC Division, during his sophomore year.
He quickly found that the public school stage gave him a different level of competition—and an opportunity to grow.

“The competition level is very different,” Lowe said. “I’m a very aggressive and competitive player, so being introduced to this stage allowed me to grow because I could go up against people who shared that same mentality. Competing with Marshall has pushed me to elevate my game in ways that the private school division might not have.”
But it wasn’t just his competition that pushed him forward.
His older brother, Jaland Lowe—a former Buffs standout and now a sophomore point guard at the University of Kentucky—has been a guiding force in his development.
“He (Jaland) has had an immense influence on me,” Lowe said. “He’s the reason I set the bar so high for myself because he showed me what it takes to be a great point guard and teammate, to the degree of advancing to the next level. Because of him, I see how the journey goes, what steps need to be taken, and the work ethic needed to reach that point.”
Now, Eian is beginning to take those steps himself. He already holds an offer from Lamar University and has drawn interest from multiple programs.
However, he remains patient as he evaluates his options.
“I’ve been in communication with multiple schools, both in and out of the state,” Lowe said. “I’m taking a patient approach and just waiting for the best opportunity I see for myself. I’ll be making my decision soon, but for right now, I’m just focusing on crossing the stage at graduation.”
With a state championship appearance under his belt and a bright future ahead, Lowe’s legacy at Fort Bend Marshall is already cemented.
Now, his next chapter awaits.
