A special group of Meridian athletes came together today, and wanted to mix them together for a reason.
Both our softball and baseball teams made it to their Regional Championship games this Fall season. While neither team came away with the championship, both teams competed in high-stakes games and gave themselves a good chance to win.
These are some of the experiences we hope our student/athletes carry with them. The next time they find themselves in a big game, a big moment, a new activity, or a challenging situation in life, they can look back and know they have been there before. They know what it feels like to show up, compete, handle the pressure, and give their best.
This picture is just a small sample of the great kids and teams we have at Meridian. We are proud of every one of them and everything they have accomplished. (Unfortunately we were not able to catch each player for the pic.)
We wish them all the best of luck as they move on to their next sport, activity, and challenge. Keep putting yourself in these moments. Keep competing. Keep giving your best. Hawk Nation is behind you.
Go Hawks!
