He ended his four-year George Fox career with 988 points, 12 short of becoming the 33rd Bruin to reach 1,000 points, but he did not become a starter until the final10 games of his junior year. He was also named to the ESPN The Magazine/CoSlDA Men's Basketball Academic All-District VIII College Division First Team this year. In his career, he ranks 11th in field goal pet. (.543) and 11th in free throw pet. (.805) at George Fox. Parker is from Aloha, Oregon, and went to Aloha High School.

He was the Bruins' top scorer seven times, and had a double-double with 14 points and 10 assists vs. Corban in the season opener, the second of his career.

Both Parker and Satern were instrumental in the Bruins' success this season. George Fox finished with a 12-13 overall record, just missing a third straight winning season, and came in fifth in the NWC standings at 7-9. Included in the Bruins' wins were an 85-65 win over Holy Names, ranked No. 9 in the NAJA at the time, and a 75-63 victory over then-No. 13 Puget Sound in which the Bruins battled back to out-score the Loggers 34-5 over the last 12 minutes of the game.
