Parkway won the team title in the Bossier Parish Championships meet Thursday at Benton’s Tiger Stadium.

Parkway scored 167.5 points. Haughton finished second with 159 and Benton third with 134.5.

Haughton’s John Hudson Brown won three events. 

He took the 100 in 11.04, the 200 in 22.40 and the 400 in 49.79. He finished .24 ahead of Bossier’s Jahmar Samuel in the 100, .08 ahead of Parkway’s Will Achee in the 200 and .49 ahead of Achee in the 400.

Parkway’s Brennan Robin won the 1,600 in 4:23.06 and 3,200 in 9:52.87. He finished 6.89 ahead of teammate Gabriel Falting in the 1,600 and 5.53 ahead of teammate Andrew Kent in the 3,200.

Falting won the 800 in 2:01.27. His teammate Alex Gomez was second in 2:03.49.

Haughton’s Tyler Stewart took the 110 hurdles in 15.02 and the 300 hurdles in 41.15. He finished 1.05 ahead of teammate Chris Mayes in the 110 and 3.82 ahead of teammate Joseph Encinas in the 300.

Benton’s Jeffery King had one of the day’s most impressive performances. He won the javelin with a 201-9. King was runner-up in the event in last year’s 5A meet with a 173-10. The winning distance was 201-9.

Haughton’s Landon Gaby was second Thursday with a 145-11.

Parkway’s Devon Oliver won the shot put with a 51-1 and the discus with a 159-1. Oliver is the reigning 5A state champion in the discus. His effort Thursday in the discus was just short of his winning throw of 162-3 in the state meet last year. His throw in the shot put would’ve been good enough for third.
