After winning a hotly contested District 1-5A race, Parkway advanced to the LHSAA Non-Select Division I championship game for a fourth straight season. Even though the Lady Panthers (26-3) lost the finale, they displayed the power and consistency of one of the top programs in the state and they lead the way on the 2025 All-District team.
Senior Dakota Howard was named the district’s MVP after averaging 23 points and 10 rebounds per game. Her coach, Gloria Williams, earned Coach of the Year honors after directing her team to an 8-0 league mark.
