Junior varsity players were brought in for quality minutes throughout the game, but the highlight of the night came in the fourth quarter when senior Cole Jurgens took a pass up court for a two handed slam dunk, the first of the season for Parker. 

Leading Parker was Fuller with 16 points and Robertson with 10. Jaivyn DeBoer also had nine and Colby Olson eight. Landri Holzwarth led the rebounding effort with eight. 

Parker shot an improved 47 percent for the game while holding Freeman to just seven percent.
