Coach, Thanks for a life lesson my freshman year at Georgetown High School. You pushed me as a 2nd stringer to try and do better or quit. I almost quit. Your tough stance taken on your players took us to an undefeated season. I never played much, but your leadership took me the following three years to starting both on offense and defense. You made me earn it. Although I have not seen you in 50 plus years, you are with me everyday as a teacher and guide. Thanks for being tough, I am trying to instill the same in my kids. Comfort and Peace to the family. Tim Mickan Walburg, Texas

Prayers for Peace for Donna and the Parker family. Coach Parker was one of our favorite at GHS. 💙🦅 I didn’t realize his roots ran so deep in West Texas, and I hope to be present at his service in January.
