History
Parkesburg has consistently placed in the top four teams of the Class AAA state tournament for many years. The 2005 team won the Class AAA state championship and almost qualified for the PAC, but lost the overall championship to the Class AA-A champs, Charleston Catholic. The 2009 team won both the Class AAA and overall West Virginia State Championship, held at Ohio Valley University in Vienna.
Nationals
Parkersburg attended both the 2001 and 2005 NACs held in Washington, D.C. In 2001, they made it to the semifinals of DC, where they narrowly lost 335-360 to Klein due to not stating a fraction in lowest terms (which is responsible for the Parkersburg rule now found in the NAC rules). They placed 10th overall in the field of 133 teams.
In 2005, Parkersburg placed 68th of 114 teams.
