1988 Boys Basketball Team

  • 1988 Boys Basketball
    The top boys basketball team in the history of the Parma City School District, the 1987-88 team made the district's only appearance in the Final Four.  The team earned a regional championship over St. Joseph and was also the district, sectional and Lake Erie League champion.   The team started off 5-3 on the season, before winning 16 games in a row to finish at 21-4.  The team would spark a decade long run of excellence as four other boys basketball teams reached the regionals.  No other basketball teams in the Parma City School District have ever advanced into the regionals besides Stavole's Valley Forge Teams.
