During APG’s second trip to the state semifinal in 2016, nine total Godby players were named to All-Big Bend Team that season, including; five made First Team (including Player of the Year Shelby Hartley), two made Second Team and an additional two were Honorable Mentions. During her time at APG, Parmer coached three, different quarterbacks that received Player of the Year honors.
Prior to Godby, Parmer spent 2009-2013 coaching at her alma mater Leon High School, with the first three years spent as an assistant coach before taking over as Head Coach for the last two. In her five seasons as a coach for LHS, the Lions made four District Final appearances, two State Quarterfinal appearances, and one trip to the State Championship.
