THE NEW STANDARD: Guyer GBB Makes Their Case as Legit Title Contenders
One of the most captivating turnarounds this winter has come courtesy of the Denton Guyer girls basketball program.
After years of fluctuating performance—most recently finishing 10-20 last season—the Wildcats have experienced a remarkable rise in 2024.
Under the tutelage of head coach Jake Floyd, Denton Guyer is currently sitting pretty with a 20-2 record, following a dominant win over McKinney North in the Dallas ISD Holiday Invitational on Friday evening.
Ranked No. 3 in Dallas via our updated rankings, the Wildcats have quickly established themselves as one of the most elite competitors in the state. Their performance this year is a reflection of the growing depth and talent within the program.
At the core of Guyer's impressive season is senior point guard Amaya Langford, the team's undisputed leader.
Langford's experience has been invaluable, but it's her exceptional ability to distribute the ball and control the tempo that sets her apart. Earlier this month, she reached the 200-assist milestone in her career, further proving her court vision and unselfish play.
Adding to the Wildcats' strength is sophomore Baylee Bowman, a first-team all-district selection, who excels both beyond the arc and on defense.
Bowman’s shooting ability and versatility make her a significant asset, and given her age, she’s only expected to improve as the season progresses. Alongside Langford, the two form a dynamic duo that is tough to match.
However, what truly makes Denton Guyer stand out is its impressive depth.
If Langford and Bowman aren’t leading the charge, individuals such as fellow first-teamer Peyton Underwood (So. G), Destanie Green (Fr. G), and junior Madison McGhie are ready to step up at a moment's notice.
As the Wildcats head into the second half of the season, tougher challenges await.
Competing in one of the most competitive districts in Texas (5-6A), Guyer will face teams like Braswell and Flower Mound, both of whom are well-renowned opponents.
Flower Mound handed Guyer a tough 64-56 loss in their first meeting, but the Wildcats are hungry for redemption and looking to settle the score.
The immediate goal is to end their three-year playoff drought, but with the talent this team has shown, the Wildcats are setting their sights higher.
For the first time in years, this squad seems primed to make a deep playoff run and possibly break through past the second round—something the program has struggled to achieve in the past decade.
For now, Guyer’s focus is on securing a district title, something they haven’t won since the 2020-21 season.
As the season continues, expect the Wildcats to keep impressing fans and opponents alike—they’re proving they’re a force to be reckoned with.
Stay tuned.
