    Not bad. They do have a handful of D1 talent on the roster. I really hope I get to see them play this season.

      From the above mentioned Rivals article:

      Wichita Heights is the reigning two-time Kansas 6A state champion and figures to three-peat and have its best team ever in 2010-11, after only losing one senior to graduation. Returning star Perry Ellis developed enough as a junior to dominate the competition and is probably among the Top 50 players in his class. Wichita State commit Evan Wessel and Dreamius Smith return for the Falcons. Smith would be a mid-major prospect if not for his ability on the football field. Many will focus on the ability of Ellis, but this team is much more than a one-man show.
      In the fast lane

          Dreamius is a KU commit for football.

            He may change his mind if they keep going like they are going. Besides if they can offer Evan in football we can offer Dreamius in basketball.

              I don't know if this team will be better than the 1977 team.

              From http://www.wichitahof.com/Inductees.htm

              1977 HEIGHTS BASKETBALL TEAM
              Kansas’ Greatest High School Team? - 2008

              Arguably the finest prep basketball team the state of Kansas ever produced featured the two undisputed best players in the history of Wichita Heights – Darnell Valentine and Antoine Carr. The 1976-77 team was undefeated at 23-0 and pounded Kansas City Wyandotte into submission even before halftime of the state championship game. The Falcons jumped to a 25-0 lead and won by 40 points, 92-52. Valentine went on to Kansas University where he was All-Big Eight four years in a row and became a punishing penetrating guard and agile defender. Carr soared to greater heights as a power forward for Wichita State’s two Missouri Valley titles and a berth in the NCAA’s elite eight in 1981. Both Valentine and Carr also had long careers in the NBA.

                  We need to have AC sit down with Perry to discuss his future.
