After winning a hotly contested District 1-5A race, Parkway advanced to the LHSAA Non-Select Division I championship game for a fourth straight season.

Senior Dakota Howard was named the district’s MVP after averaging 23 points and 10 rebounds per game. Her coach, Gloria Williams, earned Coach of the Year honors after directing her team to an 8-0 league mark.
