The Parker Junior High Girls Softball team has done it! After an undefeated regular season, our Falcons fought with grit and heart to bring home the Regional Championship, defeating Memorial Junior High with a final score of 2–0.

This win is a testament to their determination, teamwork, and the unwavering support of their coaches, families, and community. We couldn’t be prouder of these incredible student-athletes!

The journey continues!! Come cheer on the Falcons as they face Hickory Creek tomorrow at 4:30 p.m. in South Chicago Heights. Be there or be square!

The Parker Junior High Falcons showed incredible heart last night in their regional championship game. After 11 hard-fought innings and a 0-0 score, the game was called due to darkness.

You don’t get to an undefeated regular season without grit, determination, skill, and focus, and our Falcons have all of that and more.

Let’s pack the stands today and cheer them on as they resume their fight for the championship! Game time is 4:30 p.m. at Grant School in Chicago Heights. Come out and support our Falcons!

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!
