Parkview Basketball

The Parkview Basketball tradition started in 1956 when the doors at Parkview first opened. In 1965, with the team nicknamed the Jolly Green Giants, Parkview won the state championship.

Parkview participates in the Ozark Conference along with Kickapoo, Hillcrest, Glendale, Joplin, Lebanon, Rolla, Waynesville, West plains, and Camdenton. Every even numbered year PHS plays in the Blue and Gold Tournament at SMSU. We travel to cities such as St. Louis and Jefferson City during the season for tournaments or games.

Our booster club provides players with great support. They have helped build our basketball locker room, purchased team meals, helped pay for hotels and provide all senior players with a weekend trip to such events as the Missouri Valley Basketball Tournament or the NCAA Regionals.

During the season we practice everyday and one day over the weekend. During the off-season, players meet with and work out four days a week for weight training and open gym. We also have a summer off-season program four days a week in June and July.

If you love to play basketball, want to work to become the best player you can become, and are interested in continuing the great Parkview Basketball Tradition, Contact Coach Brown in the basketball office at 523-9272.
