Biography
This past season Parker led his school to its third straight Georgia state team championship. Since taking over the program in 1994, Parker’s teams have consistently finished in the Top 5 in the state. This year’s 4A state title was the fifth overall under Parker, who has also guided the Blue Devils to four state runner-up finishes.
After capturing the school’s third straight title, Parker told the Ledger-Enquirer, “It was exciting because we lost three seniors from last year who are all playing college golf. We had to replace a lot. This team really improved a lot, and over the last month or two they’ve played as well as any team we’ve ever had.”
