Fox Valley Lutheran senior Micah Parlow has decided to attend Augustana College in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and play basketball at the NCAA Division II school.

Parlow, who selected Augustana over Division II South Minnesota State, averaged 12.2 points and 8.3 rebounds per game as a senior while leading Fox Valley Lutheran to an 18-6 record under coach Matt Koepsell.

The 6-foot-7 Parlow earned first-team all-league honors in the Eastern Valley Conference and is a three-year varsity letter winner for the Foxes.

“Micah chose Augustana because it is a very good academic fit as there are and have been others on the basketball team who are in the pre-med program, which is Micah’s field of study,” said Parlow’s father, John Parlow. “The city is also very similar in feel and size to the Green Bay area, and the (sic) he had a very positive experience with the coaches and other guys on the team when he did his official visit.”
