The Meeker Kickoff Classic, the annual golf tournament and fundraiser for the football team, was last weekend. Twelve teams participated in the golf followed by a cornhole tournament and bid on the items in the silent auction. Winners of the golf tournament were the team of Jason and Amanda Back and Connor and Cade Blunt, who shot five under for a 29.
Head coach Andy Coryell would like to thank all of his sponsors, without them, supporting the team’s needs would be difficult.
