Former South Girls Basketball Coach Scott Stephens passed away last night after a 2-month battle against an aggressive brain tumor. Please keep his family in your prayers.
You can honor his memory by doing a random act of kindness in his name and give God the Glory, 3G!
Parkersburg South Boys Basketball Coach Mike Fallon resigned today as Head Boys Basketball Coach. He has prepared this statement regarding his decision and time at Parkersburg South. Thank You Coach Fallon for leaving a lasting impression on our players, fans, and community!
Today, I lost a great friend and Parkersburg South lost one of it's biggest fans. For 25 years he was the scorekeeper for Parkersburg South Boys Basketball. Grateful for the many memories together over last 20 years. RIP Rug!
Congrats to Coach Mike Fallon for being awarded the Jan Dils Golden Apple Award! Coach Fallon took the opportunity this morning to talk to the students at Martin Elementary about Anna's Army and HailleyStrong games this week.
I don't think many schools these days would be able to follow a 7-man senior class with 10. Been watching or keeping stats for these guys since 3rd & 4th grades. Proud of them for not looking for instant gratification elsewhere, instead being grinders on Blizzard Drive.
Edison 6th Grader Brody Allman raised $350 for Anna's Army by asking friends to bring a donation to his birthday party instead of a gift. Brody was recognized before Tuesday night's Anna's Army Game and given a team travel back-pack.

Many thanks to the George Washington Boys Basketball Alumni Association and GW Coach Rick Greene for the moment of silence and Anna's Army donation in honor of Keith Barker, our long-time scorekeeper who passed a few weeks ago. Very classy and much appreciated! Thank You!
Congrats to Mr Tim McCartney for being honored by Parkersburg South Student Council with a Lifetime Achievement Award. One of my favorite teachers at South that contributed so much as a coach and administrator. Cant think of anyone else more deserving.

Thank you coaches for all you do to make Parkersburg South Basketball special! We are fortunate to have a strong set of role models and teachers for our student-athletes. Hope you have a Happy National Coaches Day!
When you are sitting on the bench, you have to be ready to play on a moment's notice. Winning a 2OT game with 3 starters and 6th man fouled out requires great bench play - way to carry the mail tonight!
Very thankful for the South Parkersburg Woman's Club and the work they do in our community. They've worked the concession stand at Parkersburg South Boys Basketball home games and the BACF Basketball game for over 20 years.
