Chris Parson’s first start as a high schooler came on one of the biggest stages at that level of the sport: the 6A Division I Texas state championship. Parson started for Duncanville (Texas), but the powerhouse fell to Houston North Shore in the game. He didn’t play for Duncanville again, as he transferred to Red Oak (Texas) as a sophomore and then Brentwood (Tenn.) Ravenwood as a junior. He led Ravenwood to a 10-3 record in his first season at the school. Parson likes to read leadership and sports biographies in his free time. He is the son of Shon and LaMont Parson. He has a sibling named Alexis.
