Parker Men’s Volleyball competed in a doubles tournament at the NCVF Beach Nationals this past weekend in Tavares, Florida. The performance of the Parker Patriots was incredible, playing against some of the best volleyball programs in the nation and defeating many of the top programs in collegiate volleyball, with over 40 programs from 11 different states represented.
Wesley Blazek and Brandon Maxwell finished 3rd place in the Gold Bracket, with a 6-1 record and victories over Syracuse, Western Michigan, Park University, and Loyola Chicago. Their only loss came to eventual gold champions NC State.
Trevor Park and Bryson Pickett achieved wins over Syracuse, Park University, and Loyola Chicago. Park and Bryson showed a lot of heart coming back from an early deficit to finish with 2nd place in the Silver Bracket.
“The intensity, passion, and joy that our Parker Men’s Volleyball teams displayed here in Florida was top-notch. They represented Parker, the state of Texas, and their brotherhood with class. These 4 student athletes have been staples in our rapidly growing volleyball program, and with this performance on a grand scale at nationals, they will be Parker legends forever. They have put ParkerFit on the map and have now caught the interest of other programs around the nation. The number of competitors this weekend who have gained interest in Parker University by the way they competed cannot be replicated. I am extremely proud of our Parker volleyball team.” -Aaron Gilbreath, Director of Athletics
