Congratulations to our quarterback, Bryce Brown, on being named the Sully’s Sports I8FA Player of the Week!
This is a great individual recognition, but it also reflects the hard work and energy our entire football program has brought to the season.
Our Hawks are 4-0, and there is a lot of excitement surrounding this team right now. We’re proud of the way our players and coaches have competed, and we’re looking forward to carrying that energy into Week 5.
Next up: we travel to MEL on Thursday, September 17, with kickoff set for 7:00 PM.
Let’s keep it rolling, Hawks!

Our MS Softball girls battled all the way to the Regional Championship this morning, but fell to Vandalia 1–10 to bring a great season to an end.
For much of the game, our girls were right there and within reach, but Vandalia was able to pull away late.
We are incredibly proud of this group and everything they accomplished this season. More importantly, we are proud of the way they represented Meridian.
And a special THANK YOU to Hawk Nation.
Our community showed up today and gave our girls an incredible crowd to play in front of. We appreciate everyone who came out to support them and cheer them on throughout the postseason.
Thank you, girls, for giving Hawk Nation another season to be proud of.

BASEBALL WEEK IN REVIEW
It has been a whirlwind of a week for Meridian Baseball. With the extreme heat, all of the games were pushed back to later start times, but the boys were still able to get all of their games in.
The team went 2-1 on the week, picking up wins over both Sullivan and AO.
Wednesday night was a special one as we celebrated our 8th graders on 8th Grade Night. We are proud of these boys and appreciate all the time and effort they have put into Meridian Baseball. Thank you for representing the Hawks.
The boys are now looking forward to their final stretch of regular-season play. Next week they will take on MF and Unity Christian.
