The stars of 2025-26 Pearland Basketball
DIGGING DEEP: No. 10 Pearland is equipped with serious postseason potential
No. 10 -- PEARLAND OILERS
The Oilers return to the hardwood following what was arguably their strongest district showing of the decade — a 14-2 run through 22-6A play that landed them just behind Shadow Creek in the standings.
Their postseason stay ended sooner than hoped, falling to Ridge Point in a 56-54 heartbreaker, but the 20-win campaign underscored the program’s upward trajectory under third-year head coach Delrick Brown. Given the number of routine playmakers returning, Pearland approaches the new season with both confidence and continuity.
Seniors Byron Bibbs and Devan Brown — a pair of first-team, all-district standouts — set the tone on both ends of the court, blending scoring punch with veteran composure. In the paint, Avin Glover brings a bruising interior presence and second-team recognition to match.
Aside from the senior headliners, junior Mikael Harlan and sophomore Tyylon Ennis inject athleticism and tempo into the backcourt, giving the Oilers plenty of upside that should make them a dangerous draw in District 22-6A and beyond.

2024-25 Pearland Basketball
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).
