It's been quite a week for Parker Junior High sports fans. The boys baseball team walked away with a win earlier this week during a very rainy game. Girls softball has closed out the regular season with a win which brings their record 11-0. Congratulations!!! Finally, Wakana Hill and Imani Green finished in the top two spots at the regional golf tournament which means both players advance to the state championship next week! Celebrations all around!
