Carroll High School head boys basketball coach David Markley, currently in his fourth season manning the sidelines for the Dragons, celebrated his 200th career win in December after two of three at the 2024 Knights of Columbus Tournament, a prestigious pre-district tournament showcasing some of the best teams in Dallas-Fort Worth.
Carroll is Markley's second head coaching stop, beginning his career at Chisholm Trail High School in Eagle Mountain-Saginaw ISD. He immediately left his mark upon taking the reigns, leading the Chisholm Trail Rangers to playoff appearances in 2016, 2017 and 2018 and winning two District 5-5A championships.
He has already made his mark in Southlake, too.
At Carroll, Markley has already led his teams to back-to-back 20-win seasons, a feat that bo Dragon boys basketball team has accomplished in over two decades.
