TEAM PREVIEW:
A deep and balanced roster filled with athleticism makes Memphis East a true contender. Returning much of its core, including a dynamic backcourt in Alex Lomax and TJ Moss, Memphis East has only scratched the surface of its potential. A boost from the supporting cast is key, because this is a much tougher national schedule. Stiff competition may help the Mustangs get stronger as they go after the school's eighth state title.
