Selecting the Best

Scanning the success journals for Cloverdale High School dating back to the beginning, 1893, selecting one male student who stands out as number one is difficult at best, therefore, a tie is the best that could be done.  Class of 1961’s John Allen and Dennis Parker were the best in just about every category that had a best.  Both played on the 1961 basketball team with a 19-0 record which became the first, and one of only two undefeated teams in the history of the Redwood Empire.  Anyone who knows of the other undefeated team wins two free throws with a ball blessed by legendary coach John McMillan.

John and Dennis both graduated from military academies where they achieved scholastic and athletic recognition.  They completed their military careers and have lead exemplary lives.  John resides in Washington state and Dennis resides in Healdsburg.
