Good morning Parker Boys Athletics Families,
I hope this message finds everyone well and that you all had a great week! Our coaches enjoyed getting to know your athletes more these first two days of school and we're looking forward to a productive year of growth!
I want to communicate as much information as possible through email to keep everyone informed and up to date. Most communication will focus on the current in-season sport, but I will also send reminders and important information regarding off-season athletics.

The current football game and XC meet schedules are attached. Based on the number of athletes we have that are in Football, we have made some schedule changes already. ALL GAMES, 8th and 7th grade will begin @5:30 pm. There will be no B team games as we only have ONE team in both grades.Please review them and keep them available for future reference.

Thank you, and GO RAIDERS!
