Riverton's Parker Paxton Reaches 1000 Point Mark

Earlier this season, Riverton basketball player Parker Paxton recorded his 1000th point in his career joining some elite company in school history. His two older brothers also rang up 1000+ points in their prep careers so what Parker has accomplished is no surprise whatsoever.

Paxton did this with a 23-point game vs. Cheyenne East in December and this season he has been averaging 19.7 points per game which is 2nd in 4A. He's shooting at a 52% clip from two-point range and is the reigning Wyoming Boys Gatorade Player of the Year. In the 2022-23 season, Paxton threw in 18 points per game as the Wolverines went 21-6.

He's a terrific all-around athlete and is a four-time state champion golfer who has signed with the University of Colorado for that sport.
