STRIKING OIL: No. 24 Pearland expected to continue trending upward

24 -- PEARLAND OILERS

Despite competing in one of the city’s toughest districts, featuring the likes of Shadow Creek and Dawson, Pearland managed to go 20-15 and claim one of the coveted playoff spots last winter.

They’re definitely on the come-up, which should leave fans feeling optimistic heading into the new year.

Coach Delrick Brown’s culture is finally beginning to cement in his second year with the program, and the talent coming back should see the Oilers continuing to improve.

First-team, all-district honoree Devan Brown (Jr.) is a valuable asset at the guard position, who can stretch the court for the offense.

Senior center Ezenna Ibe provides some physicality for which he was given a second-team nomination.

Other key names to remember in 2024-25 will be Ryan Spears (Sr. PG), Byron Bibbs (Jr. F) and Avin Glover (Jr. C).
