Janesville Parker is off to its best start in Big 8 Conference play in well over 20 years, going 3-1 early on, and Douglas has been the catalyst. Last week, the Vikings went 2-0 in conference play beginning with a 70-58 win over Madison Memorial. Douglas had 19 points, 15 rebounds and eight steals as Parker beat Memorial for the first time since 2006. Douglas, a highly touted football recruit, then had 24 points and an incredible 32 rebounds as Parker beat Sun Prairie East 59-50.

Through four games this season, Douglas is averaging 17 points per game on 56% shooting from the field. Most impressive, he is averaging 18 rebounds per game including the aforementioned 32 he had last week, which set a school record.
