“Something I’ve always tried to do through good or bad is to give praise to the higher power, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,” Parkey said. “After the game, one of the coolest things in my opinion is the prayer we do. You get done battling the other team for 60 minutes, and we all join in prayer. We’re just praying for safety and health and that the team gets home safely on the plane and stuff like that. It’s really encouraging stuff and something I look forward to.”
