Their first game was against Hubbard on November 26th. They put up a good game and came out with a win. They have been working hard these past two weeks to get their offense and defense set up to prepare for thir upcomming games. This past weekend the Jackets had a tournament in Hamilton. They beat Clifton and Chilton. The last game of the tournament they played Commanche putting up a good game, and just barely losing to them. During this past week during after school pratices, the players says " we have came up with a new defense and offense and we are looking forward to trying it Tuesday night against Holland. Hopefully this will give the Jackets the confidence they need in order to keep up the hard work to keep improving during their practices. It would also be very appreciated if the parents and people of Meridian would come out to the games to support the Meridian Yellow Jackets. Especially on home games it would be very appreciated.
