Senior Darrell Johnson’s 24-point, 22-rebound effort leads the way for Parkway North, as Vikes close out regular season with a victory over talented U. City club.
UNIVERSITY CITY – With its sights set firmly on the district playoffs, which begin for all Large school teams in Missouri next week, the Parkway North boys basketball team came into its regular season finale Friday night at University City High, hoping to finally fix a few minor problems that had cost the Vikings several games recently. And thanks to a magnificent effort by senior big man Darrell Johnson, Parkway North seemed to find the answers it was looking for, as it pulled out a thrilling 56-54 road win at U. City’s recently re-named Ed Crenshaw Gymnasium. “We played a real good first, third, and fourth quarter,” North head coach Russell Vincent said. “But we were pretty bad in the second quarter, when we kind of went back into some …

Misplays in final minutes too much to overcome as Lions lose 70-65 to visiting Falcons.

Finally at full-strength for the first time this season, Lions wallop Warriors to claim fourth straight victory.
UNIVERSITY CITY HIGH SCHOOL – Just two weeks ago, when the first semester of the school year officially ended, University City boys basketball coach David Gammon was a bit concerned about the state of his team and where it was headed. The Lions had a good record at 8-5, but the coach was worried that he might lose some players to ineligibility because not everybody on the team had done what they were supposed to in the classroom during the first semester. “We might lose a couple guys,” Gammon said, in an interview back in January. “I don’t want to talk about it too much, but we might not have everybody for second semester.” Well, turns out Gammon was concerned for no reason, because not only is the team still in tact, the Lions actually …
