Penny Hardaway High School Basketball Classic
About the Event

The Penny Hardaway High School Basketball Challenge is a series of high-school basketball games pairing the top Memphis basketball teams against other nationally recognized teams.

We have secured several elite high school teams with some of the top players being a major target of collegiate recruiting.

Bringing in these talents would provide an additional opportunity for local athletes to be exposed to a national audience for potential recruiting opportunities.

The event is scheduled to be hosted at Elma Roane Fieldhouse (on the University of Memphis campus) on December 3rd-5th, 2009.
