On Feb. 24, the top-ranked girls’ basketball team earned their fourth Region 3B Championship in four years, beating rival Brentsville District 37-31. In front of their largest crowd yet this season, senior Elizabeth Creed and junior Maureen Tremblay contributed 10 points each, and shots from senior Peyton Jones and sophomores Ellie Friesen and Nora Stufft helped secure the win against the third-ranked Brentsville. Meridian will host the girls’ first round of the Class 3 State Tournament on March 3 against the Region 3A runner-up.
