“Anytime she’s in the circle, we have a great chance at winning,” South View coach Phil Dean told The Fayetteville Observer last season as the Tigers went 19-5 overall, 12-2 for a second-straight second-place finish in the United 8 Conference with the sophomore on the mound.
In her freshman year, Parnell posted even bigger stats. Her 0.65 ERA ranked No. 10 and her 193 strikeouts were No. 18 in the state across all classifications. She also put up a 14-4 record as the Tigers went 20-5, 12-2.
