Watched them on ESPN the other night. They look like a college team. Frontcourt players go 6'10 6'9 and 6'8 that are 4-5 star juniors. That whole team will play D1 Basketball.
That was an absolute destruction. I live in the city of Memphis (unfortunately yet again) and I will make sure I see Penny and his team play before the year is out!
There's more talent on that team than any basketball team in the State of TN (except the Grizzlies). I've watched them play once already. Not sure about the level of the X's and O's but they sure got the Jimmys and Joes.
...in what was then (50's) an emerging, white class suburban area of growth. As time marched on, and as Memphis expanded further eastward, East High followed the trend of now-urban schools comprising mainly AA students...and student/athletes.
