As 2024 high school basketball play began for Linn County’s smaller schools, the path to a second-straight regular season for the Meadville Lady Eagles turned more direct.After unexpectedly navigating two strong teams from larger classifications (Cairo and South Shelby) in the first week of 2023 to stamp themselves as highly-legitimate contenders for the Class 1 state championships they claimed two months later, the Lady Eagles last week again encountered and surmounted the challenge of South Shelby in the title contest of the Salisbury Invitational tournament to preserve their perfection thus far in the 2023-24 campaign.Having overwhelmed Marceline 78-33 a week ago Tuesday (reported in last week’s edition), Meadville’s top-seeded girls waxed the host Lady Panthers 64-30 in their all-purple semifinal a week ago last night, then recovered from a slow start to out-duel South Shelby’s Lady Cardinals 49-44 last Saturday for the crown.Although also labeling it as not “a very pretty game,” Meadville head coach Steve Carvajal also observes, “It was a great game between two good teams.”Meadville came out of the opening quarter of the championship contest trailing 13-5, yet – showing their championship pedigree – didn’t flinch.By halftime, the Lady Eagles (13-0) had moved to within a point, down 22-21, and, following a back-and-forth duel between respective standouts Korrie Holcer of Meadville and Callie McWilliams of South Shelby in the third period – each delivered 10 points in the segment, it was the defending tourney and state champs on top by one, 37-36.The game stayed close and within range of a Lady Cardinals rally that would end MHS’ 43-games winning streak, but the core trio of Holcer and coach Carvajal’s daughters Paige and Madison – with help from sophomore Kinlee Fletcher’s rebounding – would not let it happen.

TRENTON — In the only game action for a Linn County Class 1 high school basketball team since the middle of last week, a career-best scoring night for sophomore first-year starter Kinlee Fletcher, a pair of “double-doubles,” and four scorers – and nearly a fifth – in twin numerals highlighted the defending state-champ Meadville Lady Eagles’ lone “High School Holiday Hoops” appearance a week ago.While 2022-23 All-Staters Madison Carvajal and Korrie Holcer were generating double digits in points and rebounding, sophomore Kinlee Fletcher was tallying a career best-to-date 14 points for Meadville’s girls (9-0).Tenth grader M.
