How DJ Mims turned Puyallup into WA's best high school football team
When Luke Parker broke Puyallup High’s single-season touchdown receptions record in last week’s playoff win over Lewis & Clark, he didn’t have to go far to find the previous record holder. Dane Looker was standing on the sideline, in fact, when Parker recorded his record-breaking 19th touchdown catch. Looker, who played with quarterback Brock Huard in the mid-1990s, is Puyallup’s receivers coach. “Congratulations,” he told Parker, a senior captain. “You earned it.” Looker went on to play at the UW and in the NFL. “It was really rewarding to hear,” Parker said. “But you know, I’m not satisfied. I feel like the state’s championship’s our goal as a team.” That goal is within reach. The WIAA’s state high school football tournaments begin this week across Washington. Puyallup, which is 10-0, is the No. 1 seed in the Class 4A tournament. At this point in the season, Puyallup is the state’s undisputed No. 1 team. Just look at the resume. A 57-14 road win over Rocky Mountain, one of Idaho’s top programs. A 32-14 win over Bellevue, which is a 3A title contender. A 43-42 overtime road win over Lake Stevens, the No. 2 seed in the 4A state tournament. A
