These young men (9th-12th) are working extremely hard to build a successful basketball program here at Parkview.  This hard work began this summer (varsity attended 4 camps, JV two and 9th grade one) and has continued throughout the season.  They understand there is no substitute for hard work.

Speaking of hard work, we will not be out-worked.  These young men have shown a tremendous work ethic and dedication.  We will play an exciting, aggressive team game on both ends of the floor and expect to accomplish great things this season.

Our entire staff thanks you for your support,  Coach Tim Watkins
