THE ROAD TO MONMOUTH!
It's another big week for Hawk Nation! We have a lot happening Friday and Saturday as our Football team get's ready to take on South Beloit in the semifinal round of the playoffs!
FRIDAY – SCHOOL SPIRIT DAY & PEP RALLY
Students, wear your Meridian gear for school spirit day!
Friday morning, our football team will head to Stonington to visit and get some support from our youngest Little Hawks at the elementary!
Pep Rally begins at 1:40 PM in the HS gym.
The entire community is welcome and encouraged to attend!
Community members should sit in the top section of the gym.
We will have player introductions, some fun, motivation, and a special combined pep rally routine from our MS and HS cheer teams accompanied by our awesome band!
SATURDAY – BLACKOUT DAY!
Meridian vs. South Beloit
Kickoff: 3:00 PM
Gate Admission: $7
Everyone wear BLACK and help us BLACK OUT the stands!
Our students have organized a tailgate for Saturday! Check out the attached flyer for all the details and come join the fun!
The Meridian Golf Team will be grilling burgers next to the concession stand, and RockWell Coffee will be back in the house!
Please reach out to brittonb@meridianhawks.net for any questions you may have.
CAN'T MAKE THE GAME?
You can catch all the action on the TSSR Facebook page or listen to the game on WSOY radio!
We know what's at stake. A win Saturday sends our Hawks to Monmouth on Friday, November 20, to play for a championship. But first, we have to take care of South Beloit!
We are incredibly thankful for the support this community continues to show our student-athletes. It takes an entire community to make something special, and we are proud to be part of Hawk Nation.
Let's pack the gym Friday, BLACK OUT the stands Saturday, and get behind our Hawks!
