The 2020 honorees include:

Crystal Boyd, a Parkview Patriot graduate who was chosen as the 2005 Arkansas Gatorade Player of the Year and was also selected to play in the McDonald’s All-American Game.

Parkview won state basketball titles in 2002, 2004 and 2005, and Boyd earned the tournament’s MVP award in all three seasons. Following an illustrious prep career, Boyd inked a national letter of intent with the Texas Longhorns and completed her basketball career at New Mexico State before playing abroad professionally.

Following the 1982 season, Coach Goodwin departed the Razorbacks to become the Head Football Coach of the Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, LA where he led the program for sixteen years, leading the Demons to four conference championships and recorded a .500 winning percentage in the NCAA D-1-AA Play-Offs.

Keith Jackson, a High School Parade All-American out of Parkview High School who lived up to the hype at every stop in his football career. Keith was a 2x consensus All-American at the University of Oklahoma where he played for Arkansas native head coach Barry Switzer. During his professional career in the National Football League he was named to the NFL All-Rookie Team, selected All-Pro four times, was selected to participate in the Pro Bowl six times and was a member of the Super Bowl XXXI Champion Green Bay Packers. Keith was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in 1988 and also played for the Miami Dolphins and Green Bay Packers.

He also led the Razorbacks in numerous statistical categories during his career before being drafted 10th overall by the NBA’s Boston Celtics. The Little Rock native became a seven-time NBA All-Star while playing for five different teams.
