Meeker High School is heading into the winter sports season with impressive momentum. The girls wrestling team opened their year in dominant fashion, taking first place in their very first tournament, while the girls basketball team captured the title at this weekend’s Meeker Shootout. The boys wrestling squad also made a statement with a strong showing at the CMU tournament, and next week the boys basketball team will step into the spotlight as they take on all challengers in the Boys Shootout. This week, we sit down with girls basketball head coach Eric Hamilton to talk about the team’s early success, and we also celebrate our Students of the Week: the outstanding athletes of the girls wrestling and basketball teams.
