Memphis East High School has become a basketball powerhouse under former NBA All-Star Penny Hardaway. The Mustangs captured back-to-back state championships and entered the season pursuing a third consecutive title.

Point guard Alex Lomax, a two-time Class 3A Mr. Basketball and Wichita State commit, leads the backcourt. Seven-footer James Wiseman anchors the frontcourt as one of the nation's top prospects. The program's success stems from Hardaway's development system that begins at the middle school level.
