Win or lose, Democracy Prep’s basketball story in Las Vegas was never built on a single season.
It was built across eras.
From Andre Agassi College Preparatory Academy to Democracy Prep Agassi Campus, the westside program has established a documented lineage that includes:
- State championships in different eras
- Record book statistical leaders
- NCAA Division I pathways
- International professionals
- Coaching leadership that sustained identity through transition
This isn’t nostalgia.
It’s documented progression.
The Foundation: Andre Agassi Era
Before the Democracy Prep name, there was Andre Agassi College Prep — a small westside school that refused to think small.
Under leadership that included Coach Trevor Diggs, the program developed a competitive identity defined by:
- Guard play
- Pace control
- Fearlessness in hostile gyms
- Expectation of advancement
That era produced one of the most impactful players in school history.
🎯 Deishuan Booker (Class of 2015)
- High School: Andre Agassi College Prep
- College: Long Beach State (NCAA Division I)
- Professional Career: Israel (BSL), Turkey, Germany, Czech Republic, and other European leagues
Booker was not just prolific — he was stabilizing.
There was a night against Rancho where he poured in 25 second-half points and carried the moment. That wasn’t stat padding. That was leadership under pressure.
His name appears in Nevada state statistical archives. His pathway to Division I and then international professional basketball is documented.
For those who witnessed it, Booker represents the competitive apex of that era.
🏀 Kobe— The Competitive Core
During the Booker era, Cobey anchored the point guard position before transitioning into a successful collegiate football career.
That detail matters.
The program didn’t just produce scorers.
It produced disciplined competitors capable of succeeding beyond one sport.
The Bridge: Democracy Prep Championship Era
When the institution transitioned into Democracy Prep, the culture didn’t reset — it matured.
In 2018, Democracy Prep captured a Nevada state championship in dominant fashion.
Two pillars of that run:
🎯 Najeeb Muhammad (Class of 2019)
- High School: Andre Agassi → Democracy Prep
- College: Lubbock Christian
- Professional: Plungės Olimpas (Lithuania – NKL)
In the 2019 graduating class, Muhammad was recognized among the state’s best players in postseason coverage and league honors.
He is listed among Nevada’s all-time assist leaders in official state statistical archives.
He won a state title under the Democracy Prep brand while representing the lineage of both institutional eras.
Floor general. Tempo controller. Decision-maker.
Now a documented international professional.
That’s translation.
🎯 Akeemis Williams
- High School: Andre Agassi / Democracy Prep
- 2018 State Tournament Co-MVP
- Set state tournament three-point records during championship run
Williams’ performance in that tournament remains one of the most impactful shooting displays in school history.
His name is part of the official championship narrative.
Coaching Lineage: The Standard Carriers
Trevor Diggs
During the Agassi era, Diggs helped establish:
- Development structure
- Guard discipline
- Competitive resilience
- Collegiate-level expectation
Multiple players from that tenure advanced to Division I and professional levels.
That’s foundation work.
Cory Duke: Championship Pedigree, National Vision
Under Coach Cory Duke, Democracy Prep is not simply honoring history — it is pressing forward.
Coach Duke has won a state championship inside that building. That is documented championship pedigree, not projection.
Championship experience reshapes preparation and expectation.
But Duke’s impact goes beyond banners.
His approach reflects a vision to:
- Elevate the program’s exposure
- Position players for collegiate opportunities
- Strengthen competitive scheduling
- Build relationships that extend beyond the city
Players want to play for him.
Why?
Because he combines:
- Accountability
- Energy
- Community advocacy
- Player development
- Championship standard
Different era.
Higher ceiling.
Same westside pride.
The Westside Factor
When Democracy Prep plays in big moments, the community shows up.
The gym fills.
The energy shifts.
That isn’t exaggeration.
That’s witnessed reality.
You can only play who they line you up against.
You don’t worry about outside noise.
You control what you can control.
Respect is due to every era.
What matters most is:
- Brotherhood
- Unity
- Institutional pride
- Community support
And when Democracy Prep or Andre Agassi stepped into pressure moments, the westside showed up and showed out.
That’s fact.
What This Legacy Represents
This is not a ranking exercise.
It is a documented timeline of:
- State championships
- Record book leaders
- Division I alumni
- International professionals
- Coaching transitions
- Community continuity
Small school.
Sustained relevance.
Multi-era success.
That’s legacy.
Final Perspective
Andre Agassi → Democracy Prep
Diggs → Duke
Booker → Muhammad → Williams → the next wave
The lineage is connected.
The record books confirm it.
The community affirms it.
And the standard remains.
