Our Meridian Middle School girls basketball teams picked up quality wins last night against conference opponent Shelbyville! The 7th-grade team continues to roll and remains undefeated!
The support in the stands is building, too! Our student section brought the energy with a themed camo night, bringing the noise and being the ultimate 6th man in support of our girls.
Great basketball, great school spirit, and a lot to be proud of. Keep it rolling, Hawks!

What a weekend for Wyatt Martin at the IHSA State Golf Tournament!
Wyatt finished tied for 44th place out of 112 of the top 1A golfers in Illinois. That is an impressive accomplishment, and we couldn’t be prouder of him!
After the tournament, I had a chance to ask Wyatt a few questions about his experience. When asked how much time he spends working on his game during the offseason, he estimated 2–3 hours a day, seven days a week. While we see the impressive results on the course, it’s important to remember the time, effort, and dedication that go into reaching this level. Wyatt is a great example of how hard work can pay off.
I also asked what he enjoyed most about the weekend. He said he really enjoyed spending time with some of the other golfers before teeing off on the first day. For Wyatt, the anticipation of competing at State was one of the highlights. His favorite memory on the course? Making his first birdie on the third hole of day one!
We hope Wyatt was able to soak in the experience, enjoy the weekend, and take pride in everything he accomplished.
Congratulations, Wyatt! We’re proud of you and the work you put in to get here.

Both teams have picked up several big conference wins over the past week, including a nail-biter against a strong Clinton team! These girls are competing, battling, and finding ways to get the job done.
We’re proud of the way these teams are representing Meridian, and we’re just getting started! Check out the team roster and help us recognize the athletes working hard to make this season special.
Next week, we hit the road to take on WL before returning home on October 15 to face Shelbyville. Let’s keep the momentum rolling!

Today, Hawk Nation sent one of our own off to State!
There’s something special about being part of a small-town school. When one of our own gets the opportunity to do something special, we come together to support him/her.
This morning, all of our Fall athletes — from middle school through high school — lined the sidewalk outside the high school to give Wyatt Martin a proper send-off as he heads to Bloomington for the IHSA State Golf Tournament. (Video posted below.)
The golf clap was followed by a little AC/DC, and then Wyatt headed out with his grandparents, who are driving him up to Bloomington for his first practice round. His mom, Ashley, and dad, Craig, will meet them there. The family is doing their best to keep everything just like they did for the sectional tournament — same routine, same preparation, nothing to throw Wyatt off.
Coach Stielow will be up there with Wyatt throughout the tournament, offering a few pointers, helping him prepare, and most importantly, helping him keep those nerves under control and enjoy the experience.
From the entire Meridian athletic family — we’re proud of you, Wyatt. Go represent Meridian and enjoy every minute of it!
Good luck at State!
