High School were recently named as All-Stars at the prestigious Keystone
State Invitational Basketball Camp held at Albright College in Reading,
PA June 29-July 3, 2008. The Keystone State Invitational Camps, which
are certified by the NCAA, are held at Albright College and Slippery
Rock University and annually bring together many of the best basketball
players in the east.
Zach and Josh had the honor of playing with as well as against some very impressive players from the east coast. Both boys were nominated by the coaches for different awards which was quite an honor given the talent they were competing with all week. Josh was nominated as the most outstanding player while Zach was nominated for the best big man and camper of the week. Although neither boy won the award(s)just being nominated with over 200 campers present was quite an accomplishment.
Both boys had fun competing in the slam dunk contest with 5 other boys which featured some very impressive dunks. Although Zach and Josh were not on the same team they had the opportunity to play against each other several times throughout the week in some very impressive games. Josh's team went on to play in the championship game in which they lost by three points in over time. Zach and Josh would get the opportunity to play their final game together at camp in the All-Star game with players from all over PA, VA, MA, NJ, and DE. The boys finished the week out with a victory in the All-Star game against another very tough All-Star Team before making the long 9 1/2 - 10 hour trip back to Ohio.

Parkway Panthers Condition in the Off Season With Karate Cross-training
The
Parkway Panther Football Team and coaching staff just finished the Fall
07 season with one of the best in recent history, winning 8 and losing
only 2 of their 10 games ~ nearly making it into the play-offs.
Head Coach Ed Kuhn credits a shift in traditional conditioning to a
focus on Karate for the startling results.
Martial Arts have been used as a cross-training tool by many professional football teams since the 1970's. "There are similarities between the martial arts and football, and cross-training has been successful on a number of levels including mind, body, and soul," according to Sensei Brad Rammel, Parkway District resident, who teaches at and owns Stone Tiger Dojo in Celina.

Shanes
Crossing 5K Run, sponsored by Mercer Health, is a series of races that
take place in many communities in Mercer County during the summer
months. Locally, the 3.1 mile run starts and finishes in Shanes Park,
Rockford, Ohio, with participants being awarded prizes for the first,
second, and third place finishers. Donations from businesses assist in
recognizing remaining members.
Interest in health awareness and support of the run has increased; allowing more funds to become available to benefit good causes in the town where the event takes place. Last year was the 3rd Anniversary for the Shanes Crossing 5K Run. In Rockford, a portion of the proceeds from the run went toward maintenance and improvements of Shanes Park, an important gathering place for the community; the recipient of the remaining proceeds is determined from year to year.
Shanes Crossing 5K Run committee, Amy Lyons and Mike Bruns, chose to make a donation of $1500 to go toward purchasing equipment for the Parkway track team. This donation is from the remaining proceeds of last year’s 5K race.
With the completion of the new track, Parkway Local Schools will host a meet for the first time in nine years. They look forward to a successful season and are very excited about showing their hospitality to fans, participants, and other interested parties who come to support the school.
Be sure to mark your calendars for the following upcoming track meet dates at Parkway Local Schools:
April 10 – Parkway Junior High VS Adams Central
April 17 – Parkway High School VS Crestview & Coldwater
April 22 – Parkway High School VS Paulding & Spencerville
April 28 – Parkway Junior High VS Crestview

The Parkway Panthers and St. Marys Roughriders Junior Varsity basketball teams went head to head on Saturday, February 9 at St. Marys.
In that match-up was an unusual combination. Parkway Panther, Tyler Oliver, a junior and the son of Tom and Joyce Oliver of Willshire, played against his nephew, St. Marys Roughrider, Dereck Roop, a freshman and son of the former Michelle Oliver. Dereck is the grandson on Tom and Joyce Oliver.
According to Tom, the boys enjoy shooting baskets and spending time together but have a rivalry when it comes to competition. They were both excited about the game where each saw playing time on Saturday.
The Panther team took the win with a strong fourth quarter of play.
The final score was 36-30 in favor of the Panthers. Below are pictures
of the action provided by Pat Agler.
