Shootin' stars con't. Teamwork, a tradition at Parkview, has enriched the athletic department for 10 years. Although a player or players have stood out Stars playing together has been the secret of championship teams at PV. Dexter Reed, Parkview's first All- American player, was the first major basketball player to graduate from Parkview in 1973. Parkview's gym became know as the house that Dexter Reed built. After the '77-'78 basketball season, many fans concluded that Keith Peterson did some building on his own. Peterson, a 1978 graduate, was Parkview's second player to receive the honor of All-American. He was named sophomore player of the year, junior player of the year and to All-State and All-Conference teams all three years. Keith was also picked as player of the year in the 1977-78 season and most valuable player award in the AAAAA State Tourna- ment. He was nominated to play on McDonald's High School All-Amer- ican team in Germany. Though Peterson stood out as the nucleus of the team, he thought that his teammates' performances were equally important. At the beginning of the year, we get a goal: to win the AAAAA Conference, the AAAAA Tournament and the State Tourna- ment, Peterson said. The team is smarter and more dedicated than previous teams. They have a good defense and when they're on the court, they mean business, Ripley said. Team work, a Ripley-Patriot tra- dition, was the greatest factor in the 1978 AAAAA championship season. Cut out. Reg Taylor f22j cuts the net down after a conference win over El Doradb, 81-65. The win is the first against El Dorado in a conference game since Ripley joined the coaching staff. Narrow escape. Michael Harding j12j shoots for another two to lead the Patriots to a narrow win over Catholic High, 44-42. Basketball
