Photo Gallery: Mr. Parkview Contestants Strut Their Stuff

Family, friends and fans filled auditorium for the annual Mr. Parkview Pageant, featuring the muscle of Panther football.

Two dozen football players showed off the product of their hard work in the weight room in a bodybuilding-style competition that raised money for the Parkview Touchdown Club.

The competition dates back to the 1990's when former Parkview baseball and football legend and former Atlanta Brave Jeff Francoeur (currently with the Kansas City Royals) was a participant.

The brainchild of head football coach Cecil Flowe, Mr. Parkview was sponsored by the touchdown club and House of Payne Personal Training.

The contestants were judged in three categories: lightweight, middleweight and heavyweight. There were also awards given to the overall winner (Mr. Parkview) and the Best Performance. 

This year's contestants were: Bradley Atkinson, Andrew Atuan, Brandon Boungnavong, Blake Dunham, Jordan Funk, Elijah Gregg, Sadeq Haidari, Nick Lawson, Roger Lu, Debony Maffett, Shaq Magee, Keegan Marks, Nick Otazo, Jesse Posey, Harrison Schmid, Mike Spidle, Will Squires, Tyler Timmons, Daniel Ting, Taz Torbit, Jay Turner, Shaquille Vereen, Chris Williams and Gerard Willingham. The Master of Ceremonies for the evening was football and wrestling coach Kenny Reese.
