Parkview, which has not won a league title since 1984, returns to action after games against Greenwood and Lake Hamilton were canceled the previous two weeks due to COVID-19 protocol. When last seen, the Patriots stifled Pine Bluff 28-6, limiting the Zebras to 229 yards, forcing four turnovers and blocking a punt.
