The Panthers won the 2A state championship in Pennsylvania in 2009 and reached the state semifinals in 2010. With a host of Division one star players returning this season, the sky is the limit for IMHOTEP.

Andre Noble is the only coach the Panthers have ever had. The young school is its 13th year of operation and its 10th in boys basketball. Noble built the program from scratch and the itch for opponents has grown annually as IMHOTEP has become a state power bordering on national stardom. Noble is humbled by the success.
