Parkway West forward Larry Toomey earns Suburban South Player of the Year honors.
It was a disappointing season for the Parkway West boys basketball team, but that did not slow down Larry Toomey. The 6-foot-6 senior forward was named the Suburban South Player of the Year earlier this month. Toomey shares this honor with University City junior guard Trevon Williams. Parkway West was 21-7 one year ago, but ended this season at 12-14 despite winning six of its final 10 games. The Longhorns and first-year head coach John Wright not only lose Toomey, but they will see six seniors graduate. Toomey’s next stop is West Point, as he will play for Army in the Patriot League this fall. Toomey became the seventh player in Longhorns history to reach 1,000 career points this season, and he led Parkway West with averages of 17.1 …

The Mustangs defeat top-seeded Parkway South, 30-28, in the Class 5 District 4 title game
It will most likely be the lowest scoring boys basketball district championship played in Missouri this season, but that matters very little to Marquette. The Mustangs, behind 6-foot-9 junior center Ryan Rosburg, defeated top-seeded Parkway South, 30-28, in the Class 5 District 4 title game at Lafayette High School on Friday night. Rosburg scored 14 points, including the tiebreaking basket with seven seconds left, to down the Patriots (21-6). The Mustangs won their three district games by a combined eight points. For Marquette (18-10) coach Shane Matzen and his seniors, the win had increased satisfaction given that the third-seeded Mustangs had lost three straight district title games. It is Marquette’s first district title in 15 years. …

Parkway West is unable to end Webster Groves’ 68-game Suburban South Conference winning streak, as the Longhorns lose, 56-46.
One game after becoming only the seventh player in Parkway West boys basketball history to score 1,000 points, senior Larry Toomey was on the prowl for another milestone Friday night: ending Webster Groves’ 68-game Suburban South Conference winning streak. Toomey notched his 1,000th career point on a second-half slam dunk during a 58-42 home win over Fort Zumwalt West on Wednesday, Feb. 2. He had a game-high 17 points in the victory. Toomey would have to be content with one major accomplishment on the week, however, as the host Longhorns fell behind 11-0 in the first quarter and went on to concede a 56-46 loss to the Statesmen. Parkway West is now 8-11, including 2-2 in the Suburban South Conference. Prior to the game, the Parkway West …

Despite 25 points from senior Larry Toomey, the Longhorns lost, 70-64, to University City in the opening round of the Meramec Holiday Festival Tournament.
Fans watching the basketball contest between the University City Lions and the Parkway West Longhorns on Sunday night at the Meramec Holiday Festival Tournament saw a game that started the way it ended—with University City leading big. But, in between, there was a tight match as the Longhorns fought back from a big deficit before conceding a 74-60 loss to the Lions. Senior forward Larry Toomey, who ended the evening with a game-high 25 points, acknowledged the Longhorns' inability to handle the pressure defense of the Lions. "We fought back and got back in the game, but we did not adjust to their pressure like we needed to," Toomey said. The game was a first-round encounter and sent the Longhorns into the consolation bracket to face St. …

Larry Toomey gets hot late in the game to carry the Longhorns to a 61-46 victory at the Family Arena in St. Charles.
For a little more than three quarters, the basketball teams at Parkway West and Christian High (O'Fallon) appeared evenly matched at Sunday's GAC/Suburban Basketball Challenge. The difference between the two teams proved to be Parkway West's Division I recruit, Larry Toomey, who took over the fourth quarter to lead the Longhorns to a 61-46 victory at the Family Arena in St. Charles. Toomey, a 6-foot-6 senior forward who's headed to West Point, went on a personal 7-0 run in the fourth quarter to break open a game that was tied at 43-43. A free throw by Christian High's Adam Glenville tied the score at 43. Then, it was Toomey's time over the next few minutes as he sparked the Longhorns to an 18-3 run to end the game. Toomey converted a …

Ryan Rosburg and Marquette grind out a 34-32 win over Parkway West on Tuesday night.
With a four-point lead both at halftime and at the end of the third quarter, the Parkway West Longhorns were feeling good. However, Marquette's fourth-quarter play proved too hard to handle. Riding on baskets in the post from 6-foot-9 junior forward Ryan Rosburg, the Mustangs pulled out a 34-32 win over Parkway West. "We came into this game expecting to win," Parkway West assistant coach Corey Dowden commented after the game. "It was disappointing. I mean, any loss is." The game started very slow for both teams, with Parkway West maintaining its early lead. However, it is often said that defense wins games, and Marquette's tight man-to-man performance was undoubtedly essential to its success. The Mustangs coverage was coupled with an …
