         The Tigers have for years been on of the best ACT performing schools in the state with some of the highest marks year in and year out. This year the Tigers are for real in the toughest district in the state 16-AAA respectively. After the high school football team captured the 2012 TSSAA Division 6-A State Championship The high school basketball team has high marks to make at an overall football a priority school accordingly. Coach Lawrence Myers in his fourth year at the school as the head coach received some great news right before the basketball season with several high profiles transfers. Those transfers have catapulted the basketball program from the 16-AAA floor mat to serious contenders in the toughest district in the state with postseason goals on the horizon. An relatively young team that will make noise for the next two years in the crowded Division AAA field.

 

Marcanvis Hymon

 

        Junior Marcanvis Hymon (6'7 - 200 lbs. espn # - commit) had a very good run on the summer circuit that elevated in to a national rankings. Hymon versatile play in the middle with good mid range outside shooting while running the court is a major plus for this big man. Hymon will lead the city in block shots while he will not wow you with a lot of scoring because he does all the other intangibles to keeping the middle in Tigers hands respectively. Junior transfer  C.J. Anderson  (6'5 - 175 lbs. espn # - commit) from Arlington High School is a very solid transfer to add to an already strong team. Anderson does a little bit of everything as scoring when called upon, bring the ball up when needed, crucial rebounding in the middle in tight contests, to name a few. Both of these players will be nationally ranked in the Top 100 by the beginning of the summer circuit season.

 

C.J. Anderson

 

        Another player who had an extremely great summer on the circuit was senior Aston Morton (6'4 - 185 lbs. rivals #) who played for Desoto Central, Mississippi last season and was an early season transfer. Morton strong overall play especially around the goal, to go along with a solid jump shot from all over the court and he does not force bad shots as a result. Another senior who will contribute much needed offense when the other big guns are down for the night is left handed Ladarius Wilson (6'0 - 175 lbs. rivals #) who posses a very nice jump shot especially from mid range to go along with his aggressive style of play that will thrive in 16-AAA action.       

       Freshman guard Kevin Cheatam (5'9 - 155 lbs. rivals #) play at the 1 spot will make significant noise this year with his offensive skills and great ball handling attributes after having a tremendous summer circuit season. Senior Jamiah Kelley (6'0 - 165 lbs. rivals #) will provide strong defensive play in the guard position with drives to the goal in strong fashion. Junior Roger Robinson (6'4 - 185 lbs. rivals #) will add extra shooting punch from the outside to go along with good defensive pressure.

      This year had few classics and tournaments on hand but next year will be very active with 2 Top 150  players in the country in Hymon and Anderson.   They start the season in the 42nd Annual Martin Luther King Tournament at Melrose High School during Thanksgiving. In January they stay home with the ARS/Penny Hardaway Classic January 10-12 with the first two games at Dyer County and the last day at White Station High School. Their opponent will be private school powerhouse CBHS

 

     Junior Martez Greene (5'9 - 150 lbs. rivals #) will get opportunities at the guard spot in certain back up situations with his good defense. Sophomore Jordan Williams (6'0 - 165 lbs. rivals #) is an all around player that came off the football field and brings that brings that toughness with his aggressive style of play.

College Coaches: Diamond in the Rough Team with legitimate off the radar prospects, (college coaches click here).

Recap 8-25-2005

BY : ANDRE WHITEHEAD OF TENNESSEE PREP HOOPS

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. I think there is a book that starts off that way, but I digress.

The anticipation of the upcoming AAU or summer campaign was alive and kicking all over the country in May of 2005, especially in Memphis.

The expectations seemed enormous, having finished second in the 17 and under nationals last season as 16's the Memphis YOMCA seemed primed for the ultimate run.

Something happened on the way to the gym.

It was apparent the Bluff City faithful were not the only parties interested in getting a piece of the star studded squad.

Adidas wanted to get a foothold in the ever burgeoning Memphis hoop scene and this seemed to be the initial move to start this particular ball
rolling.

So the YOMCA was no longer in the loop and the Memphis Pump-N-Run were officially born.

Taking a peek at the roster one could not blame Adidas for their bold move. Thaddeus Young, Willie Kemp, Wayne Chism, Pierre Niles and Brandon Powell made up a nucleus that would surely lead Team Memphis to the promised land.

The summer campaign started with a most interesting scenario as the "PNR" lost a game to the Mid-State Ballerz, who ironically had Willie Kemp running the show. This was an illusion that would soon change, as Kemp
shortly thereafter joined the PNR.

With all their ducks in a row, the PNR set out to establish themselves and put a benchmark on the national attention that would follow.

The Real Deal on the Hill, the first major tournament of the summer that coaches could attend. The pundits pined for the impending matchup between Team Memphis and the defending mythical goliath The Indy Spiece Heat. The Heat were led by the consensus top player in the class Greg Oden and numerous other high level prospects who could actually match the
PNR with name recognition.

The reputation was established and the aura of the PNR was created as the boys from Memphis soundly defeated the Heat and made a huge cry across the land as the best summer squad in existence.

Another funny thing happened on the way to their future endeavors, nothing.

For some inexplicable reason the PNR did not suit up for any of the Memorial Day festivities and was sparsely seen until the Adidas Super 64 in Atlanta, following the shoe camps.

The aforementioned players participated in various high level exposure camps and the three major shoe camps and kept their names on the tongues of coaches nationwide.

After achieving individual success at these various camps, the boys got back together with the purpose of putting the finishing touches on a grand and final run through the top programs the country had to offer. They added Ridgeway jumping jack Ernest Fields and ECS powerhouse Tim Johnson to the fold and things looked bright.

Once again a funny thing happened on the way to the gym.

The time off and the lack of continuity played havoc on the chemistry of the PNR and they bowed out early in Atlanta.

Heading to Las Vegas for the final big time event of the summer, the PNR seemed poised and ready to achieve. After dominating pool play the lack of chemistry once again reared it's ugly head and some resentment among the players seemed to end this summer campaign on a sour note.

This team had the potential to be one of the best of all time. It is truly unclear what precipitated these events that grounded this team for much of the latter portion of May and June, but it truly had it's effect on their success.

None the less these kids are part of the best class of seniors to dot the Tennessee landscape in many years.

The decision to completely disassociate themselves with the
organization that they grew up playing for in retrospect now seems like a mistake. The YOMCA will continue on with quality younger teams and what to make of the Adidas affiliation with the Bluff City at this juncture is
unclear.
