We do know that we are playing the #1 seed, Milledgeville at their place.
Stay tuned!
The football game was a big event today, but there are other parts of our school and community that are rocking it too!
Big shout out to Brandon Chappell! He is the voice of Meridian Football. He is the one you hear in the press box making the announcements for the game and for general information. He is such an important part of all of our home games. We are lucky to have him. Thanks Brandon!
The cheerleaders keep the energy going all game. They practice for countless hours to be the voice for our teams and to keep the community spirit going. The players should be very thankful for them. Big shout out to Coach Bickel and Coach Marion. Thank you girls and good job!
Dr. Raymond has the band sounding great this year. They are "locked-in" to all the games and they have a great feel for when to play their music to keep things bumping. Great job band...you sound great and getting better as we go!
Our Booster Club members and volunteers may be the busiest group off all. They have a well- oiled machine in the concession stand to make sure you have salty popcorn, a fully loaded nacho, and your favorite sugary drink ready to go when you need it. A true definition of behind the scenes workers.
New to this game was our "end zone couch club" made up of various rowdy fans. Thanks for your support students and we hope to carry on this tradition next year.
Hawk Nation, thank you for all of your support and dedication to our school this Fall. Good luck to our soccer team today as they play for a regional championship. Good luck to our volleyball team on Monday as they begin post-season. Good luck to the football team today was we look for a playoff berth.
Stay tuned everyone!!

Meridian Proud!!
Here is a photo dump from just the past few days at our school. These are extra-curricular moments that are just fun and makes one proud to be in this community. These are your kids Hawk Nation!
We had 8 MS girls sing the National Anthem together and it was a powerfully awesome rendition that moved the whole gym.
We had 2 HS girls' basketball members ref MS girls' basketball games. What an awesome example!
We had a whole host of MS and HS students cheering on the MS basketball team.
We had several HS students dress up in camo to cheer on the VB Team. (Didn't get a picture, sorry)
Our football team and cheer team went to the elementary school this morning to give high-fives to our younger students. You know that had to brighten their day!
We had a practice time dedicated to helping the powder puff players get ready for their big game at next week's homecoming. They practiced running routes and learned some football plays from some of our football team members.
There was just a lot going on around here this week.
It would be awesome to see our community gather around our students next week to help support them during homecoming. If you are a former Meridian grad, from out of town, please consider coming back to attend our parade or any of our home events. Hope to see you here!
