Simeon has won the Class 4A Illinois state title in each of Jabari Parker's first two seasons. With two more years remaining, Parker is striving to replicate the feat accomplished by the Peoria Manual team that featured the likes of Sergio McClain, Frank Williams and Marcus Griffin.

“I’m pretty familiar with the Peoria Manual team from the ‘90s that won four consecutive state titles,” Parker said. “I’m trying to do the same thing as well. But we have other goals too. We want to be the best team in the country.”
