Cascades Hall of Fame
Sue Parke is celebrating her second Cascades Hall of Fame induction – she was part of the
1993-1997 women's basketball era which was inducted in the team category in 2020, and now she goes in individually in the athlete category.
Parke's three-year Cascades career (1992-95) certainly merits the additional plaudits, as she was the most prolific scorer on some dominant UFV squads. The Campbell River, B.C. product helped the women's basketball program win back-to-back BCCAA conference titles and back-to-back CCAA national silver medals in 1994 and 1995, leading the team in scoring both years, averaging 13.8 and 14.0 points per game, respectively.
Parke earned numerous individual accolades during this stretch, including BCCAA player of the year, BCCAA first team all-star, and CCAA All-Canadian in both 1994 and 1995. She was also Basketball BC's college player of the year both seasons.
Over her years on campus, Parke helped the Cascades to a 61-8 record (regular season, conference playoffs and nationals combined), and left her mark on the UFV women's basketball record book, ranking among the BCCAA-era leaders for scoring average (12.3 points per game, fifth) and playoff points scored (141, second). She concluded her university basketball career at the CIS level, playing for the Dalhousie Tigers.
